Vision / Mission of the Department
Vision/ Mission of the Department
- With companion animals having tremendous emotional value and the financial viability of pumping in capital into research that improves their quality of life; canine research has grown in leaps and bounds globally. In India, it’s a young field with tremendous potential.
- With ever expanding knowledge based on medical equipment, diagnostic techniques, drug chemistry etc. more service units will be created for different health and surgical conditions.
- Either due to modified life styles attributed to their pet parents or due to greater awareness and diagnosis, canine cancer numbers are on the rise. Oncology research will include safer and better chemotherapeutic drugs, determining which cancers are genetic in origin and working towards gene modification as a method of cancer control and creating better drugs for palliation.
- Research into improved and more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic modalities along with minimally invasive procedures with a strong focus on maintaining cost effectiveness would be a future goal for on-ground veterinary work.

Departmental Research Activity
Departmental Research Activity
- Various laparoscopic procedures in dogs have been standardized.
- Canine oncology: The etiology of canine transmissible venereal tumour has been established through karyotyping and immunological studies and standard treatment protocol has been validated. Besides surgical treatment, vast work has been done on various therapeutic modalities such as chemotherapy using vincristine, doxorubicin, methotrexate, anti-oxidants, adjunct chemotherapy, nano-particulate conjugated targeted drug delivery using zinc and iron particles, electro-chemotherapy. Use of LASER as a therapeutic modality for excision of tumours in canines has been established.
- Bovine and canine urinary affections especially urolithiasis and protocol for its surgico-therapeutic management including use of peritoneal dialysis in small animals, urethrocystoscopic basket removal of calculi, and use of herbal products has been established through a series of doctoral and master’s research.
