I'm really sorry to hear about your dog's diagnosis. It must be a challenging time for you both. Let's talk about what this might mean and what can be done at home to keep your dog comfortable.
Cancer can develop in different parts of the body, and each type has its own symptoms and treatment options. Common signs might include lumps, weight loss, changes in appetite, lethargy, or difficulty breathing, depending on where the cancer is located.
At home, focus on making your dog as comfortable as possible. Ensure they're eating well—softer, more palatable foods can help if their appetite is reduced. Make sure they have a cozy, accessible place to rest and encourage gentle activity to keep them active without overexertion. Also, monitor their pain levels. If your dog seems uncomfortable, speak to a vet about appropriate pain management.
Keep an eye out for worsening signs such as increased pain, trouble breathing, sudden weight loss, or any bleeding. These indicate it might be time for immediate attention.
Supporting a pet with cancer is emotionally and physically demanding, and I'm here to help you navigate this journey. Consider booking a video consultation with one of our vets at Dial A Vet, so we can discuss personalized care plans and answer any questions specific to your dog's condition. You're not alone in this.

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
