Abstract

The objective of this work was to report, from the Veterinary Center database, a clinical case about the Transmissible Venereal Tumor (TVT), a contagious, mesenchymal, round cell neoplasm that affects the external genital mucosa of dogs. Such a tumor can cause aggravations that spread to the rest of the animal's body, bringing serious concerns to its health and physical condition. Despite this, few people know or know about the characteristics and diagnoses of this disease, which justifies the elaboration of a structured work with the help of bibliographic research and based on a case study carried out with a real dog that ended up suffering from TVT. Introducing the bibliographic research carried out, as well as the case study, showing how a TVT is affected and how it can be treated effectively. The problem in question is concerned with answering which are the best treatments and which is the best referral that should be given to the animal, in a way that it does not suffer and has 100% of the tumor removed. Therefore, the methodology used is based on a qualitative field work, which seeks to analyze the behavior of a patient, aggravated with TVT, treated in the context of the Gustavo Rocha Veterinary Clinic in the municipality of Arapiraca - AL. Based on the explanations, it is possible to consider that the service performed with the drug Vincristine Sulfate has its efficiency. This brought significant improvements to the patient's clinical condition, who had a good recovery, thanks to the specialized and professional care he received.
