The Southern Africa Animal Cancer Association (SAACA)
The Southern Africa Animal Cancer Association (SAACA) was established as a need for animals with cancer. As the 4th in the world, SAACA will fill the gap for the animals with cancer in Southern Africa.
Cancer has been seen as a human illness, but little does everybody know that animals are diagnosed and die of cancer as humans do. In one study 45% of the dogs that reach 10 years of age or older, die of cancer.
10 Warning signs of Cancer in Dogs:
1. Lumps and bumps underneath the skin.
2. Abnormal odours from the mouth, ears, or other parts of the dog’s body.
3. Non-healing wounds or sores.
4. Loss of appetite or weight loss.
5. Coughing or difficult breathing.
6. Increased drinking or frequency or urinating.
7. Difficult in swallowing.
8. Changes in bathroom habits.
9. Evidence of pain.
10. Lower energy level.
SAACA is the first organisation (NPC & PBO) in Africa who focusses on cancer and animals.
