Cancer is an intimidating diagnosis, yet dogs diagnosed with cancer can often lead full, happy lives. Dr. Buzby is joined by Dr. Sue Ettinger, a board-certified veterinary oncologist, to break down the myths and misconceptions of cancer in dogs.

From what to do when you notice a lump on your dog, to thoughts about how dogs handle chemotherapy, this conversation will enlighten and encourage dog owners on the topic of canine cancer.

Dr. Ettinger is a practicing veterinary cancer specialist, international speaker, book author, and vlogger (video blogger). She is currently at the Veterinary Cancer Center in Norwalk, CT, and is one of approximately 400 board-certified specialists in medical oncology in North America. She received her veterinary training at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and completed her residency in medical oncology at the Animal Medical Center in NYC. Also known as Dr Sue Cancer Vet®, Dr. Sue is the co-author of the best-selling book The Dog Cancer Survival Guide, and she has developed “See Something, Do Something, Why Wait? Aspirate.®” to promote early cancer detection and diagnosis. Find more resources and helpful information from Dr. Sue at https://drsuecancervet.com

    I have a pug that is 14 and has antihistamine mast cell tumor which we decided not to treat because of her age and quality of life. So it had gotten bigger and was bleeding we got it stopped, by putting her on a antibiotic and prednisone 5mg dose. We decided to keep her on the prednisone which shrunk it and has been on it for awhile. Last night and this morning she started having soft serve ice cream. Any advice?

      Hi Geri,
      I am sorry you are facing this difficult situation with your senior Pug. I am assuming when you mentioned the ice cream you are referring to her bowel movements? If this is a new issue that was not previously experienced when the prednisone was first started, I recommend you contact your vet. Any new symptoms need to be discussed and that will allow your vet the chance to offer additional testing or treatment. Hoping you can get some answers quickly and find the best way to ensure your girl remains comfortable and happy for as long as possible.

      We have a 13 year old pug with slow growth cancer on her toe
      How is your pug? We don’t want surgery due to mobility issues after and quality of life.
