Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital: Your Trusted Partner in Pet Oncology and Chemotherapy

While no pet owner wants to hear a cancer diagnosis, the good news is that treatment options are available. Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital, we deliver compassionate care and advanced treatments to help ensure the best possible outcomes for your pet.

Understanding Pet Oncology Services

Our approach to pet oncology at Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital is comprehensive and focused on your pet’s well-being. We utilize advanced equipment and a team of experts to diagnose and treat your pet’s condition. It all starts with an oncology consultation, during which we evaluate your pet’s cancer and discuss available treatment options. In some cases, radiation therapy might be recommended, and if
you choose to pursue this option, we can refer you to a radiation specialist.

The prognosis, treatment options, and response to treatment will vary depending on the type and stage of cancer your pet is facing.

Exploring Pet Chemotherapy

Pet chemotherapy is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer. This treatment involves using chemical agents to destroy cancer cells in your pet’s body. At Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital, we administer chemotherapy through injections or in pill form. The number of treatments your pet requires depends on the type of cancer and how they respond to the therapy.

Chemotherapy at our facility is primarily delivered on an outpatient basis, allowing your pet to return home after treatment. Most pets experience minimal to no side effects, and if any arise, we can easily adjust dosages and schedules to address them.

Providing Support for Pets with Cancer

Caring for a pet with cancer is a journey that we can navigate together. Maintaining their normal routine as much as possible is crucial for their happiness and health. In addition, making your home more accessible to your pet can significantly improve their comfort. Simple adjustments, such as relocating food and water closer to their resting area and ensuring they have comfortable bedding, can make a world of difference.

It’s essential to consult with our veterinarians to determine the best care options tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
