Also why do vets get rabies titers after completing their series of shots but they do not accept rabies titers in dogs? |
yes dogs can get fibrosarcoma from it too but its less common in dogs then it is in cats. i don't know anything about the titers.

Its given as far down the leg as possible so the leg can be amputated to prevent mets. From what i saw the leg was amputated and then chemo was done, but then again i worked in the surgical department so i cannot tell you about the chemo only patients. do you know what type of cancer your friends cocker has?
