Cancer care
Cancer is a scary word to hear from your vet, but it doesn't have to be.
Why we offer cancer care
After losing his own dog to lymphoma in 2012, Dr Zach developed a passion for cancer care. Being able to treat and cure cancer is a huge privilege, and we're lucky to offer it here at Goulburn Vet Clinic.
Just as in people, cancer comes in many forms: skin lumps, internal tumours, or blood cancers like leukaemia. Working with specialist oncologists, we put together a plan for your pet that maximises quality of life and slows down, or cures, the cancer.
Oncology consults
If your pet has been diagnosed with cancer and you're wondering what your options are, make an appointment with Dr Zach.
Oncology consults are 40 minutes long, so there's time to talk about what matters to you and your pet.
Questions are encouraged. Bring along any research or information you'd like to discuss.
Chemotherapy side effects
Many people worry about putting their pet through chemotherapy after seeing side effects in their own or their family's treatment.
Fortunately, dogs and cats don't get the same degree of side effects as people. Most go through their entire treatment without any.
Nausea is the most common reaction we see. We manage it with safe medications you can keep on hand, so any discomfort is short. And no, your pet's hair won't all fall out.
