RECTAL TUMOR IN DOG


Rectal tumors are usually seen as a rectal growth on the animal, and is common to find the disease in the lymph nodes.
Symptoms
The most common sign of anal gland cancer is a rectal mass or tumor. The tumors are often small in nature. In addition to the visible signs of a tumor, animals who are suffering from the disease may be constipated or have difficulty defecating, anorexia, polydipsia, and lethargic.

Causes
The disease is often associated with a hormone imbalance as it is often found in the anal area. It is also linked with hypercalcemia in the animal's body.
Treatment
The overall prognosis for the disease is poor, although surgery can improve the opportunity for recovery.
