No one knows exactly what causes the cancerous cells in a dog’s body to go out of control and form tumors or spread rapidly to other parts of the body. There are always some amounts of cancerous cells in the body, which the body’s own defense mechanism is fully capable of handling.
It is suspected that genetics and a weak immune system are probably the primary reasons behind dog cancer. Inadequate nutrition coupled with stress, pollution, preservatives, additive and artificial colorings added to commercial foods can further compromise your dog’s immune system.
The liver is involved in numerous bodily functions including those that help in filtering toxins from the body. As such, liver cancer in dogs is the most common outcome of metastatic cancer that initially attacks other parts of the body and spreads to the liver.Â
A characteristic of liver cancer in dogs is that dogs are likely to refuse food or eat so less that it results in weight loss and muscle wasting. The fact that cancer therapy has an impact on the gastrointestinal tract does not help either.
