Ms Chai needed our assistance for the TVT treatment of the 2nd TVT dog from Mentakab.
Her constraints and requirements are:
- There is no place to board the dog at the Mentakab vet and she has exhausted all favours to get a place from friends.
- She absolutely has no place to board the dog during treatment in her house. At the moment Xiao Hong Gou (the 1st TVT dog) is temporarily being housed at a kind shop owner’s shoplot.
- She wants to send the dog to a Klang Valley vet that offers affordable rescue rate.
- She needs a vet who will allow the dog to board through Chinese New Year because she foresees that this 2nd dog would need eight chemo jabs (bleeding profusely).
A friend was supposed to help her catch the dog today, but that did not materialise.
In any case, we have found her a vet who offers affordable rates for TVT treatment. The vet is closing during Chinese New Year but is willing to let her board the dog for a little bit of extra charges, which is very fair.
Now, we are waiting for her response whether she wants to take up this offer. We will also be offering our package aid (neutering, vaccination and medical) for this dog.
All she has to do is to say “yes” or “no”, and bring the dog down to the clinic.
This is the 2nd TVT dog.
Ms Chai has brought many TVT dogs for treatment at her local vet previously, so she understands the urgency to get this dog treated before the TVT gets worse and also before other dogs are infected.
TVT spreads through direct mucosal contact/touch with the tumour or blood from the tumour. This includes via intercourse, penile, vaginal, lips, muzzle region as well as open wounds. It is a tumour that spreads through contact but it has a good chance of recovery with chemo treatment.
