Mammary Gland Cancer Veterinary Hospital South Philadelphia

Mammary Gland Cancer is a common form of cancer for dogs and cats who have had at least 2 heat cycles before being spayed. It appears as one or many nodules on the underside of your dog or cat that is associated with the mammary gland underneath the nipple. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For this and many other reasons, it is recommended to spay your female dogs and cats before their first heat cycle. While there is a long-standing debate about the correct time to spay your pet; spaying at a young age before the first heat cycle will almost entirely eliminate the risk of mammary cancer in your dog or cat. Spaying at about 6 months of age is the most common veterinary recommendation at this time.

Pet Ear Infections Veterinary Hospital South Philadelphia

Ear Infections in dogs and cats are very common. In fact, it’s one of the most common conditions that I’ve seen in veterinary medicine. Ear infections cause redness, swelling, and can lead to damage to the ear canal, hearing loss, and other problems. In addition, ear infections hurt! Have you noticed your dog scratching at his ears or shaking his head? Is he rubbing his head on the carpet?  These are all common signs your pet has an ear infection. If you suspect your pet has an ear infection, I recommend calling one of our offices to schedule an appointment with a member of our veterinary hospital.
