Advanced Pet Oncology Department at Erawan Pet Hospital: Safe Surgery, Even with Heart Disease
At Erawan Pet Hospital, we understand that deciding to proceed with surgery for your beloved pet is never easy—especially when they have complex underlying conditions such as heart disease. But no matter how challenging the procedure may be, our dedicated team of veterinary professionals is fully committed to delivering the best possible care for your pet.

Real Case Review: 11-Year-Old Dog with Tumor and Stage 3 Heart Disease
An 11-year-old dog was brought to us after a lump was found near her ear. Initially, the owner took her to a local clinic where she was diagnosed with mitral valve disease and stage 3 heart failure. Due to the high surgical risk, the clinic advised against surgery. However, the tumor continued to grow rapidly and began discharging pus, causing the owner great concern.

Upon arrival at Erawan Pet Hospital, our oncology team conducted a thorough diagnostic evaluation. We collaborated with our veterinary cardiology specialists to assess surgical risk and develop a tailored surgical plan. After carefully explaining the risks and benefits to the owner, a decision was made to proceed with surgery, as the tumor was significantly affecting the dog’s quality of life.

Veterinary Expertise & Advanced Medical Technology: The Key to Success
The surgery was carried out with precision by our experienced team of surgeons and cardiologists. Thanks to meticulous planning and the use of advanced medical equipment, the procedure was successful. The dog recovered well post-surgery and was closely monitored in our specialized Critical Care Unit (CCU). A biopsy of the tumor later confirmed it to be cancerous.
