Tumors in Domestic Animals

Title: Tumors in Domestic Animals, 4th ed.
Editor: Donald J. Meuten

If you want to understand your animal’s cancer on a cellular level, this might be the book for you. Filled with black and white images, Tumors in Domestic Animals provides photos, radiographs, cross-sections, and pictures of cancer cells. This textbook is intended for veterinary pathologists, so it may be of limited use once you’ve received a diagnosis. But if you’re curious about what that tumor really looks like under the skin, this book will oblige you in detail.

 

Managing the Canine Cancer Patient

Title: Managing the Canine Cancer Patient: A Practical Guide to Compassionate Care Authors: Gregory K. Ogilivie & Anthony S. Moore, c. 2006

This has been the most informative and readable books that I have found so far on the topic of canine cancer. While the individual cancers are not discussed in depth (e.g. nasal cancers are discussed as a group) the book includes symptoms, diagnostic procedures, treatment options and expected side effects. Color photographs show dogs at various stages of the disease and treatment.
