Can Regular Vets Do Chemo for Dogs? Yes! | Dr. Kristen Lester
Dr. Kristin Lester is a general practice veterinarian who also offers chemotherapy for her cancer patients. You heard right – any vet can do chemotherapy, not just oncologists. Not all “regular” vets offer chemo, but those that do have some special safety equipment and protocols to keep the clinic staff, you, and your dog all safe and healthy.Complicated and unusual cases still absolutely benefit from seeing an oncologist, but straightforward cancer cases may be able to be handled at your local vet’s office. If an oncologist isn’t an option in your area, see if your vet or ano...

GET UP AND BE ACTIVE IF YOU CAN - If you wake up feeling sick, tired, can’t be bothered. Ignore those feelings, get your backside out of bed and in the shower and move!

Trending With Impact: What Causes Chemo Brain?
A type of mental fog—known as “chemo brain”—is widely experienced by patients who have undergone cancer treatment. Cancer research institutions define chemo brain as impaired cognition, including cloudiness, memory loss and/or lack of concentration, that occurs before, during and/or after cancer treatment. This condition can negatively impact quality of life in a significant way. Chemo brain not only affects recovering individuals but also their loved ones, who often must take on additional caregiving responsibilities. Despite the name, chemotherapeutic drugs may not be the only treatments responsible for chemo brain. A chemotherapy protective drug called amifostine is commonly...
