Cancer Care
At Parkway Animal Hospital, we understand the importance of early detection and effective treatment when it comes to cancer in our beloved pets.
Cancer Screening
Early detection is key in successfully managing cancer in animals. Regular physical exams and age-appropriate bloodwork are a great place to start. Our hospital also offers advanced cancer screening services to identify potential signs of cancer in its early stages. One of the innovative screening tools we utilize is the Nu.Q canine cancer screen.
Nu.Q Canine Cancer Screen
The Nu.Q canine cancer screen is a cutting-edge diagnostic test that helps detect cancer in dogs at its earliest stages. This non-invasive, affordable blood test analyzes specific biomarkers associated with various types of cancer, allowing for early detection and intervention.
Our experienced veterinarians will collect a small blood sample from your dog, which will then be sent to a specialized laboratory for analysis. The Nu.Q canine cancer screen can detect the presence of cancer cells or tumor-related DNA fragments, providing valuable insights into your dog's health. It is important that your dog not consume any food for at least four hours prior to your appointment to ensure we don’t receive false positives.
Cancer Treatment
If cancer is detected, our veterinary team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your pet's specific needs. We recommend a range of treatment options, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and palliative care.
Supportive Care
We understand that a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming for both you and your pet. That's why we prioritize providing comprehensive supportive care throughout the treatment journey. Our team will monitor your pet's progress, manage any side effects of treatment, and offer guidance on nutrition, pain management, and overall well-being.
At Parkway Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to providing the best possible care for pets facing cancer. Our commitment to early detection, advanced screening techniques like the Nu.Q canine cancer screen, and personalized treatment plans ensures that your pet receives the highest quality care every step of the way.
