| Title | Lymphoma in 3 related Rottweilers from a single household. | | Author(s) | Lobetti RG | | Institution | Bryanston Veterinary Hospital, PO Box 67092, Bryanston 2021, South Africa. rlobetti@mweb.co.za | | Source | J S Afr Vet Assoc 2009 Jun; 80(2):103-5. | | Abstract | Over a period of approximately 1 year, 2 sibling Rottweilers and their dam in the same household developed stage IV and stage III lymphoma, respectively. All 3 initially responded to doxorubicin chemotherapy but relapsed after approximately 3 months and were subsequently euthanased. As no obvious environmental trigger could be identified in these dogs, it is speculated that an underlying genetic predisposition could have played a role in the development of lymphoma in these related dogs. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
