Cardiology and Oncology

A veterinary cardiologist is a heart and circulatory system specialist with specialised training. Veterinary cardiology is the specialty of medicine that deals with problems of the heart and blood arteries in animals. Animals can have a range of heart and lung disorders, many of which are comparable to those experienced by their human relatives. Canine and feline congestive heart failure, hypertension, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and valve diseases are all included. Because the functions of your pet's heart and lungs are linked, veterinary cardiologists are also familiar with lung disease and chest cavity ailments.

Veterinary oncology is a branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on the detection and treatment of cancer in animals. Cancer is a leading cause of death among pets. According to one study, 45 percent of dogs over the age of ten died of cancer. For two reasons, skin tumours are the most commonly diagnosed type of tumour in domestic animals: 1. continual exposure of animal skin to the sun and external environment; and 2. skin cancers are simple to spot since they are on the outside of the animal. In veterinary oncology, there has been a push in recent years to treat cancer patients with a multidisciplinary approach. This can comprise surgery followed or preceded by chemo­therapy, radiation, or immunotherapy (or both). The benefit of this method is that it places less focus on attaining a surgical cure in cancers that are naturally sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, thus reducing the scope of surgery and hence morbidity and complication rates.
