A 10-year-old Labrador diagnosed with multiple myeloma showed significant improvement with chemotherapy, achieving a 21.5-month remission. This canine cancer case highlights treatment efficacy and potential side effects.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Oncology
  • Canine Health

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma is a rare plasma cell malignancy affecting dogs.
  • Clinical signs include weight loss, lethargy, and bone pain.
  • Radiographic findings often reveal osteolytic lesions and generalized osteoporosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of multiple myeloma in a canine patient.
  • To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of a specific chemotherapy protocol.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis based on clinical signs, radiography, bone marrow cytology, and serum biochemistry.
  • Treatment administered using a combination chemotherapy protocol (cyclophosphamide, melphalan, prednisone).

  • Monitoring for treatment response and adverse effects, including bone marrow suppression.

    • Main Results:

    • The canine patient presented with classic signs and radiographic evidence of multiple myeloma.
    • Chemotherapy resulted in successful control of the malignancy.
    • A remission period of 21.5 months was achieved.
    • Treatment led to significant bone marrow suppression.

    Conclusions:

    • Chemotherapy can effectively manage multiple myeloma in dogs.
    • Close monitoring for side effects like bone marrow suppression is crucial.
    • This case contributes to understanding canine multiple myeloma treatment.
