Bitch survives tumor surgery! Now "Snow White" has the chance of a new life!
USA - A neglected dog was admitted to a veterinary clinic with a nasty diagnosis - now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Pyrenean mountain dog Snow White has finally found peace after a 2.7-kilogram tumor between her legs was successfully removed.
As People reported, the sweet four-legged friend was taken in by an animal welfare organization in the US city of Florida after a man found her helpless on the street.
It was immediately clear that Snow White was in urgent need of help - but no one knew how long she had been out with the tumor.
"Snow White came to us as a medical emergency from the local animal care center in Palm Beach, with dirty, matted fur full of burrs poking into her ears and body," explained veterinarian Crystal Ramsey.
Bitch Snow White underwent surgery on Saturday
In addition to the obvious wounds, the doctors found three different types of intestinal parasites. Of particular concern was the tumor protruding from her abdomen and even touching the floor. The tumor was even connected to one of her mammary glands.
It quickly became clear that the brave dog needed an operation, which was successfully performed last Saturday. The vet reported that the procedure went "extremely well and according to plan".
"Snow White is an incredibly sweet and trusting dog who loves to be around people," said Ramsey. Shortly after the operation, the vet noticed an initial positive change in the dog's behavior. This was a noticeable feeling of "relief" for everyone involved.
Snow White now has the opportunity to recover for two weeks - nothing stands in the way of a new life without the burdensome tumor.
