ONCOLOGY EMERGENCIES: BEFORE THE SPECIALIST

摘要

Cancer in cats and dogs can be the cause of a variety of emergency situations. Either before a cancer diagnosis or with complications related to chemotherapy or advancing disease, these patients can find themselves in the emergency room and require critical care before receiving care from the Oncology team. Patients with cancer can find themselves in the ER for a wide variety of reasons including seizures, metabolic derangements, open wounds, hemorrhage, shock, sepsis, and collapse.
