Abstract: Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT) is a common neoplasm affecting the external genitalia of dogs, primarily transmitted through sexual contact. This case study presents a 2-year-old Labrador bitch diagnosed with CTVT following mating with a stray dog. The clinical signs included persistent hemorrhagic discharge and a tumor-like structure protruding from the vaginal opening. Treatment involved administering vincristine sulphate intravenously, which resulted in a significant reduction of the tumor and cessation of the discharge. This case highlights the effectiveness of vincristine as a therapeutic option for CTVT, emphasizing the need for further research on its long-term effects on fertility and reproductive health in affected dogs.
