In a series of complex operations that took several weeks, the RSPCA South Australia veterinary team removed the malignant tumor, which weighed more than 5kg, and resected the surgery site.

RSPCA Soυth Australia’s veterinarian testified that, given its size, the tumor would have been present for υ to two years, possibly longer. Due to severe aemia, Biпdi required blood transfusion after her tumor was removed and her post-operative recovery period lasted two months, and she spent several days in critical care.

South Australia RSPCA chief inspector Adrea Lewis described the case as another example where early veterinary care could have prevented the animals from suffering and resulted in a better prognosis.

“If this dog had received expert veterinary care earlier, she would have had to endure the pain as this tumor grew to a horrendous size, becoming ulcerated in the process,” Ms. Lewis said.

“It is a credit to this veterinary team that they were able to save this dog’s leg and her life, but the invasive veterinary treatment and long recovery could have been avoided; “It would have been obvious for a long time that this dog needed to be seen by the vet.”
