A case study surgical resection of perianal tumorous mass in male labrador

Abstract

This tumor was found in 8 year old male Labrador dog. History depicted normal body vitals including temperature of 101.8 oC and pulse of 90/minute except profuse bleeding from that region. On clinical examination, a localised tumorous mass was found between the region of tail and anus with profuse bleeding. In order to differentiate it from canine transmissible veneral tumor (CTVT) the sample material for cytological diagnostics were taken with help of impression smears & cytological impression smears were prepared and stained with Wrights Giemsa for diagnostic purpose. Results were suggestive of presence of normal cellularity, with normal sized nucleus. The dog was operated and the tumorous mass was surgically removed. After surgical resection of the mass, the dog was kept on broad spectrum antibiotics, analgesics, multivitamins along with supportive fluid therapy.
