Emergency Care for Pets with Tumors & Cancer Symptoms
Cancerous tumors can develop suddenly and progress aggressively, leading to pain, swelling, and internal complications. If your pet has a growing lump, unexplained weight loss, difficulty breathing, or bleeding masses, emergency care is essential to prevent further complications.
At North Mississippi Pet Emergency, we offer tumor removal surgery, pain relief, and oncology referrals to help pets suffering from cancer-related emergencies. Our goal is to stabilize your pet, reduce discomfort, and provide guidance for long-term cancer care.

FAQ's
My pet has a lump. Should I be concerned?
Not all lumps are cancerous, but rapidly growing, ulcerated, or bleeding tumors need immediate evaluation. We offer biopsy, tumor removal, and oncology referrals.
What are the symptoms of lymphoma in pets?
Swollen lymph nodes, weight loss, lethargy, and vomiting could indicate lymphoma, a common pet cancer. Early detection and treatment are crucial.
My pet has a lump that has suddenly grown. Should I be worried?
Yes, sudden changes in a lump’s size, shape, or color could indicate a fast-growing tumor, infection, or abscess. A veterinary exam and biopsy are needed to rule out malignancy and provide appropriate treatment.
