Abstract

A 4-year-old intact female dog was presented with a vaginal transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) that had clinically developed multidrug resistance to vincristine, vinblastine, and doxorubicin. Complete remission was obtained with combined-modality therapy with surgery, L-asparaginase, and prednisone.
