A avenue canine’s face was distorted from an infinite swelling.
We discovered him in a state of confusion and ache, pawing at his face. After catching him by web since he was very frightened and more likely to flee as quickly as we approached, we noticed that the tumor was open in a number of locations and severely contaminated. It was so huge that one among his eyes was utterly closed shut. We decided that the tumor was a much less frequent presentation of a most cancers known as a transmissible venereal tumor (TVT). TVT often manifests within the reproductive organs however often migrates to the face. TVT might be handled with chemotherapy, administered over the course of many weeks, and generally even months, relying on the canine’s situation.
With a tumor as huge and contaminated as his, we may solely hope that the chemo would take impact shortly. Fortunately he responded nicely, and the tumor started to shrink in measurement.
After enduring a lot ache, Dev not solely healed however bought the glint in his eyes again.
