ABANDONED AT THE SHELTER WHEN HEALTH PROBLEMS BEGAN
The 10-year-old Golden Retriever, abandoned at the shelter when it began experiencing health problems, was taken by an animal lover and brought to a clinic. During examinations of the animal, named Güneş, a transmissible venereal tumor was detected. Güneş was placed under treatment at a private clinic.
5 SESSIONS OF CHEMOTHERAPY ADMINISTERED
Güneş, who experienced severe bleeding due to a tumor developing in the vaginal area and had advanced anemia, underwent 5 sessions of chemotherapy. Güneş recovered after a treatment process lasting about 2 months.
VETERINARIAN: GÜNEŞ WAS LUCKY
Veterinarian Bahri Terzi said the tumor in question is commonly seen in dogs, and said, "In the later stages, it can result in very serious bleeding and death. Especially if chemotherapy is not administered and it is not treated, serious consequences can occur. But Güneş was lucky. We got a response to treatment; she recovered. Chemotherapy treatment lasted about 5 sessions. We are currently keeping her under control again. Because in some cases there can be a risk of recurrence. If it recurs, we can continue treatment. However, at the moment she is generally in good condition." Terzi said they want to have Güneş adopted after her checkups are completed.
