Dog’s painful face cancer healed /animals video

A street dog's face was distorted from an enormous
swelling. We found him in a state of confusion and
pain, pawing at his face. After catching him by net
since he was very frightened and likely to flee as soon
as we approached, we saw that the tumor was open in
several places and severely infected. It was so big
that one of his eyes was completely closed shut. We
determined that the tumor was a less common
presentation of a cancer called a transmissible
venereal tumor (TVT).
TVT usually manifests in the reproductive organs but
occasionally migrates to the face. TVT can be treated.
with chemotherapy, administered over the course of
many weeks, and sometimes even months, depending
on the dog's condition.
With a tumor as big and infected as his, we could only
hope that the chemo would take effect quickly.
Thankfully he responded well, and the tumor began to
shrink in size.
After enduring so much pain, Dev not only healed but
got the sparkle in his eyes back.
