Honey
Rescued on 17 June 2022, Honey had a huge mass on the side of her face. The vets believed it was operable, and through the generosity of so many donors, she underwent surgery on 30 June 2022, and we hope will make a full recovery.

Honey's Story
Rescued on 17 June 2022, Honey's huge mass on the side of her head was truly sickening. Both Doc Pierre and Doc Gama at Animal Wellness agree that she was NOT a candidate for euthanasia and she had a chance at recovery, but we couldn't be certain whether the mass was cancerous until after surgery.
Honey's tumour
Her initial blood tests showed normal organ functioning but she was anaemic. She also tested positive for heartworm, so we put her on anti-inflammatory medication for 2 weeks and also got to work on raising her red blood cell count.
Honey's x-ray
Honey's surgery was really complex because her tumour was so close to her brain and had also stretched out her ear drum. After mass was removed, she was left with a drooping eye, and sadly only one ear. It is still early days, and we wait for the results of the biopsy to see if chemo treatment is needed. Fingers crossed she doesn't need too much further treatment.
