Extragenital malignant transmissible venereal tumour in a bitch.
Transmissible venereal tumor was diagnosed in the vagina of a bitch. The tumor spread to the oral mucosa in the tonsilar area of a female offspring which was frequently observed licking the vaginal discharge from the bitch. Metastasis to the ovary occurred in the bitch and wide-spread metastasis, especially to the skin, lymph nodes and spleen was recorded in the offspring. Both animals were euthanased due to poor response to treatment. The diagnoses were confirmed by histopathological examination.
