Cancer can be a frightening word to hear, especially if the
word is used in reference to a family pet.
Pet owners often have many questions when their pet is diagnosed with
cancer- How bad it is? What is the prognosis? Is there anything we can do?
At Capitol Illini Veterinary Services we understand that
these are concerns many owners may inevitably face. Because of that, we want to be
there to answer those questions. Dr.
Blake Marcum is now providing consultations in oncology and chemotherapy. Dr. Marcum has partnered with an oncology
group that provides consultations with a board certified oncologist’s oversight
for each case. This allows for treatment
tailored specifically for your pet along with the convenience of location and
the quality of care that you have come to expect from Capitol Illini.
Cats and dogs respond differently to chemotherapy than
humans, and luckily they are much more tolerant. This means they experience fewer side effects and
can maintain a great quality of life during and after treatment. Patients
receive their treatment as an outpatient procedure, so they can go home the
same day.
Call Capitol Illini today to schedule a consultation
with Dr. Marcum and discuss your questions and concerns about cancer and
treatment options for your pet.
We look
forward to working with you!
