An approximately 8-year-old Doxie, this sweet girl needed all the help she could get.<\/p>\n<p>She was suffering with two large mammary masses &#8211; one with open draining wounds.<\/p>\n<p>Because there was a 50-50 chance the masses were cancerous, there was a risk of spreading to the lung. We took chest X-rays before surgery. It didn\u2019t show any spreading to the lungs, but it did show calcium deposits inside the tumors.<\/p>\n<p>This surgery at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baerc.com\/\">Berks Animal Emergency &amp; Referral Center<\/a> was quite the challenge. Removing all the affected tissue required removal of the 2 masses and some healthy skin around it. In addition, in order to try to \u201cget it all\u201d, some of the muscles of her belly (her abs) were removed. She was also spayed during the procedure. The skin stitches were so tight, I was concerned that they would pull through the skin. To try to decrease that risk, a few special sutures, called stent sutures, were placed along the long incision. One week after surgery, the incision looked great and the stents were removed.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the biopsy of the masses came back as low-grade cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to virtually eliminate the risk of breast cancer is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pethealthnetwork.com\/dog-health\/dog-surgery-a-z\/top-10-reasons-spay-your-pet\">spay your female dog<\/a> (or cat) <em>before<\/em> her first heat cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Dogs with mammary tumors still should be spayed. It&#8217;s too late to prevent mammary tumors, but you can stop a life-threatening infection of the uterus called pyometra.<\/p>\n<p>Angel is looking for a foster home or a furrever home to provide a comfortable place to recover and get the TLC she desperately deserves!
