Transmissible venereal tumor and anaplasmosis in a domestic dog

This paper reports a case of a transmissible venereal tumor and anaplasmosis in a domestic dog. A 2-year-old, 7.1 kg, black and white domestic female dog was presented to the clinic for examination after being rescued. Physical examination revealed Rhipicephalus sanguinis infestation and vaginal swelling with nodules approximately 5 mm in diameter. A complete blood count indicated leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and eosinophilia. Decreased hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and platelet values were observed. Blood biochemistry test results showed decreased total protein levels. Vaginal nodule cytology results were consistent with a transmissible venereal tumor. The dog was diagnosed with a transmissible venereal tumor and anaplasmosis. Treatment included doxycycline antibiotics, vincristine chemotherapy agents, fu fang herbal supplements, fluralaner anti-flea and tick medication, cazitel antihelmintics, Kalvidog supplements, and medicated shampoo for skin condition improvement.
