Testicular cancer not just happen in humans it is
also visible in animals such as dogs. Dogs need to be neutered to make
sure that they will not have testicular cancer. This is just a simple
process that were observed by a lot of dog owner globally to make sure
that their dog gets the adequate care they need to make them healthy and
happy. Although there are some dogs that will not be neutered, this is
just for the breeders that contains license and those who knows how to
breed their dogs appropriately.
Those who are called the backyard
breeders and not a professional breeder should go through the
conventional procedure of having their dog neutered to make sure that
they will not be at risk of testicular cancer.
There are varieties of
testicular cancer, here are some of them:
1. Interstitial cell tumors
2. Seminomas—this causes swelling of the testicles and
in the scrotum area. This is the type that doesn’t metastasize but it is
typically incidental to find. A blood test should be conducted before it
will be detected.
3. Sertoli cell tumors—this type of tumor causes
swelling in the scrotum and testicles and in the part of the groin or
abdominal area. This is also the type that causes estrogen production
increase; the dog will also have an enlarged mammary glands, prostate,
and nipples. This will cause abnormality because it may make them
attracted to other male dogs too. It will also boost anemia and hair
loss in the long run.
The testicular cancer is hard to
diagnose because there are times there are no visible symptoms unless
the case is already severe and advance. It can only be checked on rigid
tests such as biopsy and microscopic exam of the removed tumor. Taking
your dog to the vet will be very helpful because they will know if the
case is curable or not. X-rays should be done to make sure that the
cancer hasn’t spread yet to other parts of the body. The doctor will
then assess the history of the dog and the symptoms of the ailments
should also be checked.
One of the best treatments for
testicular cancer is castration.
This is done to make the dog survive and for the cancer to be
eliminated. Castration is a successful treatment but chemotherapy
can also be another way to treat the dog especially if the cancer has
metastasized. Prevention is still better than cure so if you want to
prevent your dog from having cancer, you need to neuter him to make sure
that they will be safe from this type of cancer. Once you get a dog your
commitment should be for a lifetime. You need to be serious about their
cases to make sure that they will not suffer later on in life.
