Occurs at inappropriate times (when the dog is not overly warm) MULTIPLE MYELOMA IN CATS The major symptoms associated with multiple myeloma are caused by the spread of cancer cells, hyperviscosity syndrome (thick blood), and the underproduction of normal cells within the bone marrow (see explanations above).

NEW RESEARCH SHOWS A GENETIC CAUSE OF LYMPHOMA IN DOGS As a veterinarian with over 40 years of experience, I have diagnosed many cases of malignant disease in dogs and cats.Veterinarians have long recognized breed predispositions of some cancers such as lymphosarcoma. We now have evidence of a genetic role in the development of this cancer. What is lymphoma? Lymphoma is a malignant disease of the various lymphatic tissues. PROTEIN-LOSING ENTEROPATHY (PLE) IN DOGS Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a fancy way of saying that excessive protein is lost from the gastrointestinal tract.

WHY WOULD MY DOG’S EYE NEED TO BE REMOVED (ENUCLEATION)? Zee Mahmood, a veterinary technician in Reading, PA, contributed to this article.
