STELFONTA® helped a dog from losing her ear. 😮 🐾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I treated Brooklyn on the back of her ear for a MCT in March 2021. In October 2021, she developed a second and third MCT, and all were treated with STELFONTA® after my client's full satisfaction with how the first treatment went.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Surgery was an option for all of Brooklyn's MCT's but my client didn't want to remove her ear (which would have been necessary with the surgery route for the first MCT). The second and third MCT we're candidates for surgery but he was so happy with the STELFONTA® experience that he chose it again. (I treated both the second and third on the same day.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now my client is an enthusiastic supporter and was happy to share some of his top tips as a pet parent who went through the process - 3 times!

A hot new, nothing like it before, drug enters the vet scene! 💊 🐩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Canalevia is now available to prescribe for pets dealing with chemo-induced diarrhea.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Diarrhea is a possible side effect for dogs when on chemo. And if you've ever been the person with the gloves and nose pinchers cleaning it, you'd know how much of a helpful solution this is!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ask your vet about it if you're dealing with this issue with your canine. 🐾

🐾 A few reasons your pet might not be able to undergo surgery: 🐾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Underlying conditions
- Age-related disease
- Anesthesia risk level
- MCT challenging location
- Client preference
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These reasons above come up time and time again and when they do, having an alternative for MCT cancers can mean everything for the patient and their owners. 😩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Additionally, STELFONTA® is actually a plant-derived option from the Australian rainforest so that reason alone can be compelling enough for some pet parents.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You should always consult your veterinarian or cancer specialist on what would be the most effective course of treatment for your pet because only you and your vet know your pet best.

Does your dog deal with any of the above?
