Meet Honey, This is the poor soul Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary rescued today. Honey was dumped in severe condition with the biggest tumor on her face. She was in discomfort for a long time since she was swollen and infected.
” We are with her now at Animal Wellness getting X-rays to find out if this mass is treatable. Her early blood tests revealed that her organs were working OK, but she is anemic. She was also found to have heartworm.
They will put her on anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks and also work on raising her red blood cell count. She will then require surgery and chemotherapy. She stands a high chance of living a regular, happy life!
She need to do surgery to remove the mass, followed by chemo if it is cancerous. Given the position of the tumour, surgeons will need to do the procedure at Animal Wellness, where they have gas anaesthetic, giving Honey the highest chance of survival.
Her red blood cell count is still low after 15 days in the center, therefore she will have a transfusion. Hopefully, surgery will be performed soon after.
“Day 17: Honey’s operation has just begun. Just before she was sedated, she was photographed with Rina and Rudylyn. We will do the procedure at Animal Wellness since gas anaesthesia is safer for more serious instances. Because the tumor is so close to her brain, the procedure will be lengthy and complicated.
Day 19: Honey’s surgery was as successful as it could be given that the tumor had grown around so many of her facial and optical nerves. Unfortunately, the nerves controlling her left eyelid had to be severed, leaving her with a little droop.
The tumor was huge, and as a result the surgical wound is large. She is eating chicken which is a good sign. She will be able to live a normal life even without it. She is already eating on her own, but her face is still swollen from the operation and inflammation, so doctors are hopeful she will eat more once that subsides.
She is still in the very early stages of recovery from such an invasive surgery, and each day she survives without complications, is a blessing. She made it through the procedure!!! Honey is still deemed critical, but she is awake and breathing.
“We just had the results of Honey’s tumor biopsied and unfortunately it’s malignant. Doxorubicin is the most effective chemotherapy treatment for the type of cancer she has. We must act quickly to halt the spread of any cancer that may still be present in Honey’s system.”
She hadaother tumor in her vagina but the amazing news is that the tumor in her vagina has shrunk by 60 percent since she started chemo and she has only had two sessions so far.
After more than 3 months, she’s gaining weight and is generally in good spirits despite being on chemo. Her prognosis is still uncertain because chemo affects the organs, but we are confident she will recover completely.
Heartbreaking Encounter: An Unconscious and Chained Dog’s Desperate Cry for Help on the Streets
Amidst a Tranquil Stroll: A Tale of Compassion and Rescue
One fateful Sunday evening, as I wandered through the familiar streets of São Paulo, an unexpected and heart-wrenching sight crossed my path. In the dimly lit corner of the street, I encountered a pitiful scene that shook me to my core: a defenseless dog, unconscious and chained.
Approaching cautiously, I could see the dog’s once lustrous fur now matted and soiled, a poignant testament to its prolonged suffering. The rusty chain, cruelly tight, had inflicted visible discomfort and injuries upon the poor creature’s neck.
The dog’s once-vibrant eyes, now dimmed by fear and pain, made feeble attempts to summon help with raspy, plaintive barks, yet it seemed invisible to the indifferent passersby. My heart ached witnessing this desperate cry for aid go unanswered.
Without hesitation, I knew I had to intervene. With trembling hands, I carefully examined the chain, realizing it had become embedded deep within the dog’s skin, causing severe wounds. Gently, I reached into my bag for a pair of scissors and painstakingly began to free the dog, mindful not to inflict further harm.
As the chain fell away, the dog slowly regained consciousness. Its trust in humanity had been shattered, but it tentatively accepted my reassuring touch. Tears welled in my eyes as I contemplated the cruelty it had endured.
The next steps were clear: I needed to seek immediate medical attention for this suffering soul. Cradling the dog gently in my arms, I embarked on a mission to find the nearest animal shelter or veterinary clinic capable of providing the care and rehabilitation it so urgently required.
This encounter served as a stark reminder of the paramount importance of compassion and empathy toward all living beings. It was a resounding call to action, a plea for change.
The surviving puppy found refuge with me, and I promptly alerted the relevant authorities to collect the deceased dog. According to the Samson Law, the owner of these animals will be held accountable for their actions.
Let us collectively work toward a world where such heart-wrenching encounters become rare, and compassion prevails.
