The article presents a case study of a chemotherapy using vincristine sulphate in canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT). A female German shepherd dog was presented with vulval oedema and serosanguinous discharges and cytological examination disease was confirmed as CTVT. The animal was treated with intravenous Vincristin sulphate which resulted to a considerable regression of the tumor mass.
