Salivary neoplasia in dogs and cats
Researchers evaluated records collected from cats or dogs with salivary neoplasia and controls from the 26 university veterinary teaching hospitals. A total of 56 dogs and 24 cats were identified as having been diagnosed with salivary neoplasia.
The incidence of salivary neoplasia in this population was calculated to be 15.3 per 100,000 dogs and 26.3 per 100,000 cats. The specific anatomic location of the salivary neoplasia was unable to be determined in 90.8% in both species. Results revealed no sex or neuter status relationship. While there was no breed disposition within the felines, poodles (toy and standard) were more common compared to mixed breeds.
