The lymphomas (malignant lymphoma or lymphosarcoma) are a diverse group of cancers that originate from a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte. They are one of the most common cancers diagnosed in dogs and cats.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a relatively uncommon disease in dogs and is rare in cats. It is a condition in which transmission of information between nerves and muscles is abnormal, causing weakness. Normally, nerves send commands to our muscles via a “messenger” called acetylcholine (Ach).
Vaccine associated sarcomas are soft-tissue tumors that can occur in cats at site of previous vaccination. Originally it was thought that FeLV and rabies vaccines were linked primarily to the development of sarcomas at vaccine sites in 1/10,000 or as frequently as 1/1,000 vaccines administered. More recent reports have not linked specific vaccines to the development of sarcomas in cats.
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a condition that is also commonly referred to as dry eye. The medical term means inflammation of the cornea and surrounding tissues from drying. It is a common eye condition resulting from inadequate production of the aqueous portion of the tear film by the lacrimal gland and/or gland of the third eyelid.
