What is the step-by-step cancer care journey at MaxPetz Goa Porvorim?

1. Initial OPD Oncology Consultation — A veterinary clinician conducts a thorough clinical assessment, reviews your pet's history, and identifies signs that may indicate a tumour or malignancy. Available 10 am – 8 pm daily (11 am Sundays).
2. Diagnostic Imaging and Staging — Depending on the suspected cancer type, your pet undergoes MRI (soft tissue), X-ray (bone and chest), or ultrasound (abdominal and guided biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of disease.
3. Treatment Planning — The veterinary team reviews all diagnostic findings and discusses the most appropriate treatment pathway — which may include surgical oncology, medical management, or supportive care — with the pet owner.
4. Treatment — Surgical oncology (tumour excision) is performed by appointment. Oral tumour cases may include dental scaling as part of the management plan. The team coordinates all aspects of care within the clinic.
5. Recovery and Supportive Care — Post-treatment monitoring is arranged to assess healing and response. The team provides guidance on nutrition, activity, and home care during the recovery period.
6. Follow-up and Monitoring — Scheduled follow-up consultations allow the veterinary team to track your pet's progress, detect any recurrence early, and adjust the care plan as needed. Use the booking form on this page to arrange follow-up appointments.
