Symptoms of Cancer in Cats & Dogs
It’s important to remember that these symptoms can also be indicative of other, less serious conditions. However, if you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your pet examined by a vet as soon as possible. Early detection and diagnosis are key in providing the best possible outcome for your pet. Detecting cancer early in cats and dogs is crucial for effective treatment. Pet owners should watch for the following symptoms:
- Lumps or Bumps: Not all are cancerous, but any new growths should be checked by a vet.
- Unexplained Weight Loss: Sudden weight loss without a change in diet or activity level can be a warning sign.
- Persistent Sores or Wounds: Sores that don’t heal could indicate skin cancer or an underlying disease.
- Changes in Appetite: A significant decrease or increase in appetite may signal internal cancers.
- Difficulty Eating or Swallowing: This could suggest oral cancers or tumours in the throat or neck area.
- Chronic Vomiting or Diarrhoea: While common in pets, ongoing gastrointestinal issues could be a symptom of cancer.
- Difficulty Breathing, Urinating, or Defecating: Any changes in basic bodily functions warrant a vet visit.
- Lethargy or Depression: A noticeable decrease in energy or a change in behaviour could be a symptom of various illnesses, including cancer.
- Odour: Unusual odours from the mouth, ears, or any part of the body should be investigated.
- Pain or Discomfort: Reluctance to exercise, play or jump, or signs of pain when touched could indicate a problem.
- Bleeding or Discharge: Unusual bleeding or discharge from any body opening requires immediate veterinary attention.
- Lameness or Swelling: Persistent lameness or swelling in any part of the body, especially in older pets, could be a sign of bone cancer.
