Poodle (Toy) / Shih Tzu / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Senior : : Small
Sweet Ellieanna has had her first surgery. It was extensive. Because her owner "chose" not to fix her, she developed mammary cancer. Her first surg ery was the equivalent of a radical masectomy. The entire chain of mammary glands on one side was removed, and she was spayed as well as had hernia repa ir. Sadly, in two months she must have a second surgery to do the same procedure on the opposite side. We do not know if It is metastatic yet, but we do know this should never have happened. She is only seven and realistically could live another ten years if she had been fixed at an early age. ( Each heat cycle increases the risk of cancer..proven fact.) Ellieanna is getting the drain tubes out and is enjoying her loving foster home. We are hoping and praying after the second mastectomy that she will be ok . Her xrays, as of now, do not show cancer in her lungs which is typically where it spreads. More about EllieannaGood with Dogs
