TLDR The dog recovered well from skin cancer and intestinal blockage after treatment.
A 6-year-old male Labrador dog with a history of hair loss and skin lumps was diagnosed with cutaneous lymphoma after presenting with generalized alopecia, lymphadenopathy, and nodule-like skin lumps. Hemato-biochemical analysis showed anemia, lymphocytosis, and hypoproteinemia. The dog was treated with the modified Wisconsin Madison protocol and later developed vincristine-associated ileus, which was successfully managed with neostigmine. The dog recovered uneventfully from both cutaneous lymphoma and ileus.
