Dog Bladder Cancer (TCC) - Signs, Treatment & Prognosis

If your dog is straining to urinate, asking to go outside frequently, or has blood in the urine, it may not just be a urinary tract infection. In this video, Dr. Vanessa Rizzo, veterinary medical oncologist, explains: • The signs of bladder cancer (transitional cell carcinoma / TCC) • How it’s diagnosed (ultrasound, urine DNA testing, biopsy) • Treatment options including targeted therapy and anti-inflammatories • When surgery is possible • Expected survival times and prognosis Bladder cancer in dogs is often not curable, but many patients can maintain a good quality of life for 8–12 months with appropriate treatment.
