Hello there! It's great that you're staying informed about your pet's health and treatment options. Carboplatin, along with other chemotherapy drugs, can indeed have effects on the liver and kidneys. These organs help process and eliminate toxins from the body, so when they're exposed to certain drugs, some degree of strain or damage is possible.
Chemotherapy can potentially lead to issues such as liver enzyme elevation or reduced kidney filtration efficiency. However, the risk varies depending on the individual pet's overall health, the dosage, and the treatment duration. It's important to monitor your pet closely during chemotherapy.
At home, keeping your pet hydrated is key. Ensure they always have access to fresh water, as hydration supports kidney function. Providing a balanced diet, perhaps with input from your vet, can also be beneficial.
Watch for signs like decreased appetite, vomiting, lethargy, increased thirst, or changes in urination. These could indicate complications needing immediate attention.
If your pet shows any concerning symptoms or you have further questions about their treatment plan, booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet can provide you with personalized guidance. We're here to help you through every step of your pet's care journey.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
