Cancer doggie now in our care
It's not just humans that get cancer. Dogs get it just as frequently as people. My own dog had cancer of the uterus that was only discovered when we were getting her "fixed" (another reason to sterilize your pet as it is the most common form of cancer in doggos.)
This not-so-friendly guy was suffering from prostate and testicular cancer, and it was evident for some pretty bizarre reasons the I don't care to get into so you will just have to use your imagination but it has to do with his reaction to following his natural urge to mate.

To some it may sound cruel, but the first thing we do in these situations is to remove the reproductive organs, and I am sure you know what that means in relation to male dogs (or people or any mammal.)
He was a particularly difficult case because male dogs generally speaking are more difficult to deal with in the "wild" that is the streets of Krabi. We were able to lure him into a kennel with good ol' fried chicken though... this always seems to work.

He wasn't very happy about being caged although, once again it was for his own good that we did so. After transport to the clinic, he had to be separated from the other animals because he was very afraid of basically everything other than fried chicken. We don't know for certain but it seems as though this dog has always lived his life in the wild and can be considered feral.
He had to be trickily sedated to receive chemotherapy because unfortunately the cancer has spread beyond his testes and the doctor isn't able to tell us fully whether or not he is a lost cause of not.
On another note: I don't like that term "lost cause" because we try to do our best to treat every animal that we take under our care as thought we can and will care for them until they are as healthy as we can possible make the before sending them home.

My apologies for the dick pic, but this is an example of a dog with rather severe testicular cancer and we are hopeful that with treatment we will be able to save him. Unfortunately, the doctors fear as though the cancer may have spread too far to contain but we are going to try anyway since the alternative is to allow him to live out his days in abject and continuous pain until he slowly succumbs to his disease.
It breaks our hearts a bit when these situations arise, but we do all that we can in order to sort them out, and with any luck we will be successful with this case as well.
This fella will likely be with us for at least a couple of weeks, and I will keep everyone updated on his progress, which we hope will actually be progress in a good way.
