Johanna was released to us as a "stray". She presented with a very large mouth lesion (tumor) and what appeared to be phlebitis in the right rear leg. Rescue immediately had the tumor removed and fearing she might have been an MVA victim, we x-rayed the hip and leg; discovering an abnormality and severe infection present. At the time of surgery, the leg was also biopsied and we await results on both specimens. Johanna's lesion should have been addressed a long time ago, and if both the reports come back malignant, her leg must come off to save her life. This 'slow moving little bulldozer' of a girl makes herself right at home and and loves to stretch out on the cushy dog beds. She is very good with her foster brothers and sisters,and has been taken under their care and protection.
"Jo" should not be facing this kind of turmoil in her young life..........UPDATE>>>>4/28/08......
>> results are back from the biposy. The tumor in
the mouth was malignant and has a 50% chance of reocurring. It is
rare that the type metastisizes, but not unheard of. The biposy from
the leg is very suggestive we are dealing with the early stages of
just that, but in a different form/ type of cancer. Further special
staining of the biposy would give it a name; but the funds are
better utilized removing the leg and upping her odds for a longer
life. As for the mouth lesion, Dr A is confident he got it all and
would be surprised if it showed up again.Being a slow growing
malignancy; if it reoccurred, it could be removed. Jo has been suffering under this neglect for many years and now has a chance to live a life she should have been given in the first place. Please help us save her so she can have that dream come ture! ( new pic is post- op lesion removed).
