Cancer has been known as one of the most horrible diseases that might happen to human being and it has also been claimed to be the main killer of so many people in several countries. Indeed, such condition has made this disease become global concern. The researchers are still struggling to find the cure for this disease since up to this recent time, the cure has not been found. However, lately, another surprising kind of news related to this disease has been found. It is not only the people who need to be aware of this disease. Animal should also have such concern. Nevertheless, since the animal cannot really show the sickness and the feeling, such condition is not explored until a few years ago. Cancer can also attack animal.

One of the most common types is the cancer in dogs. Of course, such thing is also horrible by considering the fact that dogs are the man’s best buddies. There are so many people who are keen on keeping the dogs as the pets. Whenever these people know that the dogs are suffering from cancer, it is true that they will also feel sad. Since they really love the dogs like the dogs are the part of the family, they would really love to save the dogs no matter what it takes. However, once again, like what has been stated before, to determine this kind of sickness that happens to the dogs is not as easy as to detect the cancer in human. Well, there are so many reasons for this matter. The first is because the dogs cannot say that they do not feel well orally. It is very possible that the men are mistaken in interpreting the cancer in dogs with the other kinds of diseases. The owners of the dogs might think that the dogs only suffer from certain diseases and thus, they do not really think about it seriously. However, it cannot be denied that this disease can be really deadly and can lead the dogs to the death if the cancer is not taken care of properly. This is where the owner of the dogs needs to know about the symptoms to make sure that proper treatments can be given as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, when it comes to the symptoms of cancer in dogs, they symptoms are quite similar to those which happen to the people.

The dogs might have some lump in some part of the body. The symptoms might also in the form of the wound that cannot be healed easily. It might take a lot of time for the wound to heal on its own. Swelling can also happen during the symptoms of the cancer. However, it is also possible for the symptoms to show themselves a little or no symptoms at all. This is where the cancer becomes really annoying. The dogs might only show that the bodies might not feel good so they only stay silent and the movement is not as active as normal. When such condition happens, the owner should be aware and never take it lightly. It is a good idea to bring the dogs to the veterinarian right away so the dogs can have further diagnosis. Another pathetic fact about this condition is that the dogs can develop cancer more than men. Survey has found that up to half of the dogs that have the age more than 10 years suffer from the cancer. To make sure that the cancer will not hamper the life of the dogs, it is really great if the owner brings the dogs to the veterinarian regularly and controls the diet and the health of the dogs. That way the dogs will live longer and cancer can be prevented.
