Abstract:
28 dogs of various breeds with a history of bleeding, in-appetence, and polydipsia were brought to the VCC, IIVER, Rohtak during the course of a year. 13 males and 15 females between the ages of 18 and 24 months made up the 28 animals. Upon clinical inspection, it was found that the animals had cauliflower-like tumorous growths on their penis in the case of males and their posterior vagina in the case of females. In all cases, neutrophilia was visible on the blood image. 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 all animals' gross tumor lesions started to diminish within 15 days.
