Cancer is a curse that continues to steal life from our friends, family and our beloved dogs. Here are the 10 most common signs of a possible cancer in dogs. These symptoms are very similar to the ones that appear in humans.
1. Abnormal swellings that persist or continue to grow
2. Sores that do not heal
3. Weight loss
4. Loss of appetite
5. Bleeding or discharge from any body opening
6. Offensive odor
7. Difficulty eating or swallowing
8. Hesitation to exercise or loss of stamina
9. Persistent lameness or stiffness
10. Difficulty breathing, urinating, or defecating
Cancer is easier to prevent than cure. Keep your dog’s diet as free as possible from toxins. Read the ingredient label carefully. There is only so much “crap” a body can handle before the system begins to deteriorate. We are what we eat and drink. The same is true for our dogs!
