Urgent 🚨 we need to raise another $800 USD (26,000 baht) to cover the costs of these two siblings’ hospitalization for 4-6 weeks.

🐾 None of us take a salary and we receive no government support or grants for our rescue initiatives. We take animals to the clinic and then fundraise to help pay for their care 💕 these animals would often receive no medical interventions without us looking out for them and in this case, these dogs would likely have been left to slowly die over the course of the next few months.

We have the chance to make it better 💕

The tumor pierced through the palate when it was growing bigger and curing her from cancer left her with a hole at the roof of her mouth. This has made eating difficult (but we’ve been careful!) and today is the big day to fix it all!! 🐾

We are also urgently seeking a foster home or adoptive family for her, once she has recovered. She is the sweetest dog, very loving and sweet with others, and needs gentleness 💕 she is easy going and not a runaway risk. ALL costs for her would be covered.

If you could be a good fit, please let me know!

Invasive but treatable cancer

The post Can you give a temporary home to this sweet gentle soul appeared first on Hand to Paw Thailand.

The tumor (which likely was growing for at least a year) broke through her palate and left a gaping hole when the tumor receded (this is not the open wound we can see on the photo- there is another hole on the roof of her mouth which means fluids she takes in run out via her nose causing aspiration). She is set to have this repaired next week!

Please keep her in your thoughts 🥰 we would also love to see her have her own quiet and loving home when she recovers from all the medical issues. She is truly one of the sweetest dogs I’ve met and would do so well in a home, off the streets 🐾

If you can help with a donation, please do! We have 6 other dogs with similar cancers we are treating at this very moment and we have treated 40 dogs like her this year so far 🙏

TvT – Transmissible Venereal Tumor – Curable Cancer

Thankfully, her life changed dramatically when Mary Ann VandeWeerd and Emma Neale saw her and asked for help ♥️

🌟 These two ladies have paid for her cancer treatment and hospitalization. Hand to Paw would like to help by covering the costs of her upcoming surgery to close the hole in the roof of her mouth (plus spay her at the same time). Expected costs are about 10,000 baht ($300 USD).

From misery to miracles ♥️

TVT – Transmissible Venereal Tumor
In male dogs, the tumor affects the penis and foreskin. In female dogs, it affects the vulva.

✨ one week difference ✨
Hand to Paw interventions make all the difference 💕 thank you to everyone who has cheered and helped with a donation!

We are very hopeful this is indeed a TVT tumor (as it is responding so well to the chemo!!!) and to help him breathe as his tumor shrinks, he is getting support with nebulizer treatment. The infection that was pouring out of his eyes and nose is now under control and he no longer smells of rotten flesh 🥰 huge progress!!!

I will bring him some extra soft blankets, toys, plus goat milk this morning and some treats 💕 donations help us cover his medical costs plus we get to help him feel like a King.

🐾 Lego is healed in full from TVT cancer, he’s been neutered (he was also cyptorchid), vaccinated, dewormed several times, and he’s received long-acting flea and tick medications 🥰

He’s now back with his dog family, at a horse farm, with a long happy life ahead of him!!

Thank you to all who donate to make these transformations possible!!

The post Another TVT Success – Lego appeared first on Hand to Paw Thailand.

We focused our efforts on trapping as many feral dogs as possible at the irrigation center nearby and bringing them in for spay. It was a success!

We also caught two new TVT cancer dogs who will be started on chemotherapy as soon as they have healed from their spay surgery and we have checked their bloodwork ♥️

So many of the dogs had such bad tick infestation (one dog had thousands of lice!!!) and so I have packed extra boxes of meds to treat them when I go check on them in a few days 🥰 (plus deworming).

For many dogs, these events are the only time they will ever see a doctor in their entire lives: so we try and be as thorough as possible- treating for blood parasites, wounds, TVT cancer, worms, or flea/tick infestation and talk to owners about where to access follow up care.

A massive thank you to Lets Save the Strays International for sponsoring the costs of all the surgeries and vaccinations today!
