Droopy Is On The Mend After Surgery To Remove Horrific Tumours

Hi everybody, the names Droopy. If we haven�t already met, you can read about me at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.650156761692729.1073742557.108625789179165&type=3

I came to the Soi Dog clinic after animal rescue officer Khun Sanae noticed I had terrible tumours on my legs, tummy and private parts. I got these tumours because of a cancer called transmissible venereal tumour (TVT). Unfortunately this disease is quite common with street dogs in hot countries and it�s not what you think, dogs can get it just by sniffing each other�s butts (that�s what happened to me, I swear!).

Thanks to the Emergency Response Team (https://www.soidog.org/en/donate-today/ert/ert.html) I was able to get the care I needed and am now on the road to recovery. I had surgery the other day to remove the tumours and I am now feeling (and looking) a lot better. If these tumours had not been removed, I risked getting cancer to lots of other parts of my body. That is a very scary prospect!!

The vets say that while my progress has been good, I am not entirely out of the woods yet. They need to keep monitoring me to make sure my wounds heal well and that I don�t get more tumours. I hope everything ends up being ok, because I really don�t want to go through all this again. Thank you so much Emergency Response Team for helping me. If you are not a member of this team and want to help me and other dogs who need help, please visit https://www.soidog.org/en/donate-today/ert/ert.html today.
