Cancer Care:

Complete Cancer Care by Southpaws brings together all of our capabilities to address cancer in cats and dogs. By combining advanced Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy and Surgical Oncology – we deliver some of the most advanced cancer treatments available in Australia. We offer all these services in one location, greatly streamlining case management and ensuring continuity of care.

Complete Cancer Care by Southpaws is centered on world class oncology case management which takes into account diagnosis of cancer type and classification of the cancer stage through physical examination and a variety of imaging techniques (CT, Xray, Ultrasound). A prognosis is developed and a management goal is formulated – either curative or palliative treatment approaches are proposed. Surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, pain relief and hormonal therapy are then considered.

We offer stem cell therapy to help relieve the pain and discomfort caused by canine osteoarthritis. This pain relief can dramatically improve quality of life and reduce the need for potentially harmful anti-inflammatory medications.
