Tendons, ligaments, and cartilage help connect muscles and bones, making everyday movements like walking, running, and jumping possible. 🐕💙

When cancer develops in these connective tissues, it’s called a soft tissue sarcoma. The most common type in dogs is fibrosarcoma, which is more often seen in older dogs.

Fibrosarcomas can appear almost anywhere on the body, from the mouth or nose to the legs, and in some cases, they can spread to areas like the lungs or lymph nodes. The good news? Fibrosarcomas are treatable, especially when detected early.

That’s why it’s so important to keep an eye out for new or changing lumps, bumps, or areas of swelling. When caught early, treatment outcomes are often much more successful. If something doesn’t look or feel right, trust your instincts and have it checked. 🐾✨

There are no definitive causes of oral cancers; therefore, early detection is vital. Brushing your cat’s teeth every day not only helps keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy, but it will also familiarize you with your feline’s mouth. By brushing their teeth regularly, you are more likely to notice the symptoms of oral cancer, such as if something looks or smells different.

Annual dental exams by a veterinarian are also important. During professional dental cleaning by a veterinarian, your pet will be anesthetized. This allows your veterinarian to take full mouth dental radiographs (x-rays) and thoroughly examine and clean your cat’s teeth above and below the gum line. Any tumors or growths forming in the mouth will be seen by the veterinarian.
