About Oncology Consulting
We provide consultations to veterinarians anywhere in the world, who are caring for animals of any species, with any type of cancer.
We will review case information in depth and provide a complete written report with recommendations and responses to specific questions. Please note that we are not able to advise pet owners or caregivers directly, because without the presence of a veterinarian / client / patient relationship, our recommendations would not be valid.
Initial Consultation
We will review case information in depth and provide a complete written report. A phone consultation can also be requested if needed.
Email $280, Phone $350 (note: a phone consultation involves an emailed consultation report followed by a phone consultation to discuss and is a phone call to the requesting veterinarian not the client/owner)
Follow-up – Follow-up consultations for ongoing case management are $35 per contact
Chemotherapy protocol, standard $40 (if custom-designed, $70).
Optional additional information sheets:
Information sheets on chemotherapy drug handling and administration, $15 each
Client information sheets on treatment type, protocol, and chemotherapy drugs, $15 each
Client information sheet on tumour type and behaviour, $15
We are happy to consult to veterinarians in any country. Although we are Australian-based, we consult to veterinarians in New Zealand, Singapore, Honk Kong, Malaysia, the USA, Canada, the UAE, and even Vanuatu (just to name a few!)
