ABSTRACT

A female Labrador dog 4 years was presented in Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Bihar Veterinary College, Patna, Bihar Animal Sciences University Patna, Bihar with a complaint of swollen masson the ventral side of the neck region. After preparing the Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of the tumorwas done and observation was made under an oil immersion microscope at 100x magnification. The microscopic examination revealed the presence of cytoplasmic vacuolations, leading to the diagnosis of Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT). Chemotherapy was initiated using the most effective cytostatic agent, Vincristine sulfate, administered intravenously once a week. The chemotherapy regimen was repeated until the tumor completely regressed, and the condition was successfully resolved after the third chemotherapy session.
