Surgical Management of Mammary Tumor in a Dog

A nine year old pomeranian female dog was reported with inappetance, reduced water intake, occasional vomiting, and large growth since last two months. Clinical examination revealed fever, dysponea, auscultation of chest revealed lung consolidation and large tumor in left caudal abdominal gland. Surgical intervention under dissociative anaesthesia, removal of tumorous mass and post-operative care was undertaken. The histopathological examination revealed proliferation of mesenchymal cells along with tubular epithelial type representing fibrosarcoma of mammary gland. Uneventful recovery marked the successful surgical intervention.
