With a band of crimson encircling his neck, he bore the physical reminder of past captivity. Each stride he took was accompanied by a tormenting ache stemming from his lengthy chains. His form was clothed in wounds inflicted by the fangs of rabid creatures, emitting an unmistakable fragrance of decaying flesh.
In the midst of his immense suffering, Isumu’s eyes continued to glow with a flicker of vitality, demonstrating his inherent capacity to feel fear, humility, and hope. With an earnest prayer to God, he pleaded for someone to come to his aid and rescue him from the depths of his anguish.
A volunteer at the shelter discovered him and brought him in. Upon arrival, Isumu was given necessary medical attention and provided with a cozy bed to rest in. Isumu underwent a thorough cleaning and had his wounds treated. He was also nourished with food and water, and for the first time in a while, he experienced a sense of care and affection.
After 10 days, Isumu’s condition began to improve significantly. His wounds showed signs of healing, and his fur started to regrow. The unpleasant odor of decaying flesh that once surrounded him was no longer there, and his eyes radiated with joy and satisfaction.
Day 80: At long last, a delightful family arrived at the shelter seeking to give a loving home to a dog. The moment they laid eyes on Isumu, an undeniable connection formed, and their hearts were filled with adoration for him.
She was abandoned with the largest tumor on her face and suffered for a very long time without any assistance
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.
