Lymphoma is a common malignant tumor in dogs, which usually manifests as lymph node enlargement, loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss and other symptoms. The treatment plan mainly includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used treatment schemes, which can obviously relieve symptoms and improve the survival rate.
There are many kinds of chemotherapy drugs for dogs, such as cyclophosphamide, pertuzumab and platinum. These drugs can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and improve the immunity of dogs, but they may also have some side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea and hair removal.
2, the choice of chemotherapy drugs and dose control
The choice of chemotherapy drugs should be evaluated and determined according to the dog's age, weight, physical condition, tumor type and grade. In the aspect of dose control, we should follow the advice of clinicians and prescribe the dose, and at the same time, due to the difference of drug metabolism in dogs, we need to adjust it according to the actual weight. In addition, the dosage of chemotherapy drugs should be adjusted according to the dog's reaction and therapeutic effect.
3, drug side effects and nursing measures.
Chemotherapy drugs are often accompanied by certain side effects, such as immunosuppression, nausea and vomiting, hair removal and so on. In order to reduce these side effects, we should control the dosage of drugs reasonably, take care of dogs properly, and keep a good sleep, diet and clean environment. In the process of chemotherapy, we should pay attention to the dog's body temperature, lethargy, appetite and mental state, and regularly check the dog's obesity, blood routine and immune function to ensure the dog's good health.
4, medical care and postoperative rehabilitation measures
In the process of chemotherapy, we should pay attention to health care, provide adequate nutrition for dogs and prevent diseases, including food selection and dog diet arrangement. Postoperative rehabilitation measures are very important. It is necessary to arrange feeding scientifically and reasonably, reasonably combine nutrients, pay attention to medication, and prevent cross infection. At the same time, we should constantly guide dogs to exercise properly and gradually adapt to a stable daily life.
