Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor is the most frequently occurring form of tumor mainly in stray dogs due to the high population, close contact and uncontrolled sexual behavior. A male non-descript stray dog rescued by a dog rescuer presented to the Palakkad Pet Clinic, Palakkad with the history of swollen penis and bleeding from prenuptial orifice. Physical examination revealed genital swelling with subcutaneous nodules in the prepuce and phimosis of penis. A smear was prepared from the lesions and with the help of microscopic examination diagnosed the condition as genital form of Transmissible Venereal Tumor. The animal was treated with Vincristine sulfate at a dose rate of 0.025 mg/Kg body weight intravenously along with supportive therapy weekly for 4 weeks. The dog was uneventfully recovered after four weeks.
