Bladder Cancer in Dogs Life ExpectancyÂ
Dogs that have transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) can live for up to six months after diagnosis if they don't receive any type of treatment. If they receive natural or other forms of treatment, they can live for up to 12 months with this condition. Even if the cancer is removed by surgery or eliminated through chemotherapy, a dog may experience side effects for the rest of its life.Â
There are few things worse for a pet owner than watching it battle a serious illness. However, by noticing changes in its eating habits or personality, it may be possible to catch canine bladder cancer in its early stages, which can increase the odds of survival. If the cancer isn't caught early enough, you can still take steps to make whatever time it has left as happy and comfortable as possible.
