Among total 5877 adult dogs, 45 male and 28 females suffering from venereal granuloma were treated with vincristine sulphate@0.025mg/kg body weight I/V. Three injections of vincristine sulphate were given by slow I/V rout at weekly intervals. In most of the cases bleeding was stopped after first injection.
