Transmissible Venereal Tumor (TVT) and its successful treatment in canines

Abstract

A male dog of 6-year age with history of bleeding, in-appetence, and polydipsia were brought to the VCC, Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumar Ganj during the course of a year. Upon clinical inspection, it was observed that the animal has cauliflower-like tumorous growths on the penis. neutrophilia was visible on the blood image when blood profiling was performed. By microscopic examination of an impression smear stained with Leishman’s stain, TVT was identified in each case. Vincristine sulphate, chlorpheniramine maleate, multivitamins, and immunity-booster syrup are all included in the treatment regimen. After the initial therapy shot, bleeding ceased, and dog’s gross tumor lesions started to diminish within 15 days.
