MALIGNANT TUMOR - DOG


german shepherd dog had minor injury on the fore limb. it went unnoticed but dog started limping quite often and even radiograph showed no visible bone injury. After few months the limping was quite painful to dog. At that time radiograph showed some impressions over the joint and dog was put on pain killers. But this didn't help the dog. Finally biopsy was sent to the lab for histopathology and it confirmed the maligant mesenchymal carcinoma. Few more radiographs were done to find out the spread of cancer and prognosis at this stage. But it was too late to help the poor dog and pain was too much to him. Only good thing is that dog is full of life and want to fight with the end.
