Canine transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) is a contagious cancer with a global distribution, posing significant challenges in veterinary oncology. A Nigerian indigenous breed of dog was presented with the complaint of blood dripping and tissue growth from the preputial area. A blood sample and a biopsy of the cauliflower-like tissue growth were collected from the patient and analysed for complete blood count and histopathological examination, respectively. Canine TVT was tentatively diagnosed and subsequently confirmed through histopathological examination. Chemotherapy was initiated using Vincristine sulfate (0.025mg/kg intravenously) once per week for four weeks, resulting in a positive outcome. The client was advised not to use the dog for breeding during the management and to confine and isolate the patient from other dogs to prevent the spread of the disease within the community.
