Abstract

An intact male Labrador retriever dog was presented with bilateral sanguinopurulent nasal discharge, sneezing with soft fleshy swelling occupying the nasal area. Haematology revealed leucocytosis with eosinophilia and biochemistry was within normal range. Radiography of nasal area showed soft tissue densities. Cytology of nasal discharge showed neoplastic population of round cells typical of transmissible venereal tumor. Chemotherapy with Vincristine sulphate resulted in complete resolution of clinical signs and recovery.
