Canine Breast Cancer Breast
cancer: Estrogen is one of the primary causes of canine breast cancer, the most
common malignant tumor in dogs. Animals that are spayed prior to one year of age
very rarely develop this malignancy. However, it is very common in unspayed
females. The chances of reaching 10 years of age without developing this
potentially fatal tumor is less than 11% in some breeds with normal hormone
production. If the dog is spayed later in life, it may still decrease the
chances for this cancer to develop. The best way to insure your dog is spared
from breast cancer is to have an OHE performed before her first heat |
