A 14-year SF Schnauzer dog was presented with a transitional cell carcinoma. On urinalysis isosthenuria, 2+ hematuria, and microalbuminuria was present. Abnormalities on CBC and serum chemistry were anemia, thrombocytosis, hyperglobulinemia, azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hyperkalemia.

DX
TCC
Outcome
It is recommended to return for round of ultrasound-guided laser ablation for palliative treatment. A month later the patient was doing well. Client will start the patient on piroxicam if the patient is straining to urinate.
Comments
Legend said None in sampling but there are images of FNA of mass.
