Cavy Leukemia is reportedly the most common cavy cancer, but since some of the first signs are anorexia and swollen lymph nodes, most owners don´t catch it early (if at all).

It´s a bear to treat. Sharlene has treated at least three of her pigs: Smuttie, Charlotte, and Carrot. The repeat labs showed she made some progress, but we have a ways to go. I haven´t heard of a cavy leukemia case going totally into remission, but chemo can add to their lifespans.

Treatment is quite varied due to the type of cancer and metastasis.
