The use of chemotherapy in exotic animals.
Although there is little published data on successful treatment of neoplasia with chemotherapy drugs in exotic animal species, there has not been adequate research done, or even large case series on how these drugs should be dosed and which drugs are most appropriate to use for which tumor types. As people demand better treatment for their pets, hopefully more information will become available, and the reader is advised to keep track of the literature for new information as it becomes available.
