We understand that with longer pet lifespans comes a greater risk of age-related diseases like cancer, which is now the leading concern among pet owners. Cancer manifests with symptoms like lumps, abnormal bleeding, or sudden weight loss, causing distress for pet owners who fear for their pet's health.
Cancer can impact pets of all species, whether they're bunnies, dogs, or cats. At Drovers Vet, we provide this service for all pets diagnosed with cancer, offering personalised treatment plans that prioritise their well-being.
Led by Dr. Wayne Shipham, who brings over a decade of expertise in veterinary oncology, we are equipped to offer top-tier cancer diagnostics and treatments. We offer specialised surgical techniques for cancerous growths. This expertise ensures precise and effective removal of cancerous tumours, providing peace of mind to pet owners during a challenging time. Our approach focuses on compassionate care and minimises chemotherapy side effects for pets.
Diagnosing and caring for pets with cancer at Drovers Vet involves a thorough process designed to ensure the best possible outcomes. Beginning with comprehensive cancer staging, which includes biopsies, cytology, ultrasound, and digital radiology, we meticulously assess the extent and nature of the disease.
This thorough evaluation allows us to tailor a treatment plan that meets your pet's specific needs. Our approach to chemotherapy utilises cutting-edge techniques and medications, aimed not only at treating the cancer but also at maintaining your pet's quality of life. Throughout this journey, we prioritise effective and empathetic care, supporting both you and your pet every step of the way.
From routine check-ups to advanced surgical procedures, our team of experienced veterinarians and dedicated staff is here to provide compassionate and comprehensive care for your furry family members.
Our state-of-the-art facility offers separate consultation rooms for dogs and cats, a fully equipped in-house laboratory, and specialised suites for surgery and dental care. For those tender moments, our uniquely designed Grief.
