Dogs + Surgical Conditions

  • Tumours of the Spleen

    Tumours of the spleen are common in older dogs, but rare in cats.

  • Tumours of the Uterus, Vagina and Vulva

    Most swellings and tumours of the uterus are not cancerous. The commonest in the female dog is cystic endometrial hyperplasia (overgrowth of the inner lining of the uterus) due to hormone stimulation.

  • Urinary Incontinence

    Incontinence indicates leakage of urine without the dog being aware of it happening. It can occur when the dog is lying down, often when asleep.

  • Urinary Tract Tumours

    Kidney tumours are rare in dogs and cats. When they do occur, they are almost invariably malignant (invasive and spreading) and called renal carcinoma.

  • Vascular Tumours

    This is a tumour of the blood vessels of the skin or subcutaneous tissue. Some are benign (haemangioma) but a few are malignant (haemangiosarcoma).

  • Vascular Tumours of the Viscera

    These are tumours of the blood vessels. Some are benign (haemangioma) but most are malignant (haemangiosarcoma).

  • Wobbler Syndrome (Cervical Spondylopathy)

    Cervical spondylopathy or Canine wobbler syndrome is a problem affecting the neck bones of large breed dogs, particularly Great Danes and Dobermanns.
