Abstract:
The practice of veterinary oncology requires that attention be paid to both the medical and emotional needs of patients, clients, and staff members. In order to attend to these needs effectively, practice management goals for diagnosis, treatment, and euthanasia must be clearly established. Common medical and emotional issues pertinent to the practice of veterinary oncology are presented in this chapter. Hands-on information about what to say and what to do while dealing with these issues are detailed. After-care strategies for clients and staff are also included.
