Cancer (Tumours, Neoplasia or "growths") are unfortunately very common in animals, as well as in people. As a result, a lot is known about cancer in animals as a result of human cancer research.

Many tumours can be easily removed surgically without any spread or risk of them re-growing.  However more aggressive forms of cancer cannot be completely cleared from the body by surgery alone.

Veterinary Cancer Therapy has advanced dramatically over the last number of years both in terms of the surgical and diagnostic techniques available, but importantly in the area of Chemotherapy.
Many of us will know a person or maybe a pet which has received life saving chemotherapy.

We at the Greenmount Veterinary Clinic, are pet owners and lovers ourselves, and our primary objective is to Relieve Suffering and provide our patients with a Good Quality of Life for as long as possible.

We believe that Quality of life is more important than merely duration.  With this in mind the Cancer Chemotherapy we offer is used at dosages which does not cause noticeable side-effects in our patients.

At these doses we have enabled many pets to be able to live normal good quality lives for many months more than would otherwise have been expected.

The most common type of cancer we use chemotherapy  in is lymphoma or lymphosarcoma.

Unfortunately however, as in human medicine, there are many other types of tumours/ cancer which do not respond well to chemotherapy
