Chemotherapy Now Offered At Capitol Illini



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!
