The Pet Doctor - Episode 277 The ‘C’ Word…Are You Hearing It More Often from Your Veterinarian

Author: Pet Life Radio January 10, 2019 Duration: 35:28
It seems as though it is happening more often. A pet parent comes to me with their furry kid in tow for a well pet exam. Their pet is feeling great. Eating well, great skin and coat, no coughing, sneezing, vomiting or diarrhea. It may be on the physical exam or routine lab work that I discover that the pet has cancer. It is one of the hardest conversations I can have. They know I must be wrong…how could their healthy pet have a potentially life-threatening disease? I have the impression that I am having this dialog much more often than when I started practice. Is cancer really occurring more often in pets? If it is more common, what may be the cause and is there anything we can do to decrease the chances that your pet will be affected?

My guest is a Dr. Brennan McKenzie, a veterinarian and practitioner of ‘Evidence Based Medicine.’ We will tackle all of these questions and more.
