Abstract
The present study is a case report regarding treatment of mammary tumour in a German shepherd bitch where the tumour was attempted with antineoplastic drugs combination with Inj. Vincristine sulphate @ 0.0125mg/kg body wt. intravenously at weekly interval, Tab. Methotrexoate 2.5 mg once in a week.Tab Cyclophosphamide 50 mg once in a week. There was a gap of at least 2-3 days between each above anticancerous drug. Unfortunately, the drugs had adverse effects on the hepato-renal status of the bitch however; it showed slight improvement in the size of the mammary tumour. The animal was immediately attended with symptomatic therapy and the side effects were controlled. The tumour was surgically removed; removal was easy as the size was shrinked. The results suggest that the therapeutic treatment of mammary tumour can be attempted with the same above drugs combination by probably reducing the dosages of individual drugs.
