Abstract
In
this study a total 5877 dogs were studied between Oct. 2006 to
Oct. 2007 at SPCA Nagpur, accounting 1.24% incidence of venereal
granuloma. Among total 5877 adult dogs, 45 male and 28 females
suffering from venereal granuloma were treated with vincristine
sulphate@0.025mg/kg body weight I/V. Three injections of
vincristine sulphate were given by slow I/V rout at weekly
intervals. In most of the cases bleeding was stopped after first
injection. The response to treatment was evaluated on the basis
of regression of the growth and there was complete regression
after third dose of vincristine sulphate injection. During whole
treatment no side effect of vincristine was recorded.
