Ruthie.
This little dog has had it hard. Originally a stray, she made her way to the shelter and waited for rescue. And then she waited some more. We took her in a few weeks ago.
She’s not the youngest dog. She’s not in great shape.
She’s got lumps and bumps that we had removed and biopsied.
The larger mammary growth on Ruth came back as a low grade mammary carcinoma. The margins were clean and there is no evidence of angiolymphatic invasion. The other smaller growth came back as an adenoma. Ruthie is going to need another surgery in a couple weeks to remove that growth as well.
Her vet bills have quickly piled up and we’re not done yet. Please donate so we can continue to help Ruthie. Our guesstimate on completing all of her vetting will likely be around $3,000.
