We couldn't save Marigold, but we have a great chance at saving Cassia.    This sweet pup was turned into Animal Control with what appears to be the same kind of tumor that Marigold had.  Cassia's tumor is half the size of Marigolds.   In addition to having the tumor, sweet Cassia also has a Prolapsed Vagina that has to be fixed.  

Cassia is a two year old Boxer Mix Pup that is a delight to be around.  She loves everyone and wants nothing more than to run and play and then jump into your lap for a nap.   We are optimistic that by removing her entire ear flap along with the tumor, we will give her the best possible chance of survival.  Without surgery, she will die.  Her ear has gone untreated for a year.  Her entire ear and canal are terrible infected.  The way she came in, she had total hearing loss out of that ear.  She has already adapted to hearing on one side only for a while already.    Depending on how clean the margins are and the type of tumor, we will do radiation if it will help her chances of living a long, healthy life after her procedures.

I wish I knew why so many animals are getting these tumors.   None of them are coming back benign, and most have already spread to other parts of the body.   Cassia's scans do not appear to show any sign of the cancer spreading.    Please, help us save this wonderful little dog. 

Cassia does not appear to be all Boxer.  Her nose is longer and looks like she might have some lab in her.   Whatever she is, we are determined to give her the chance we were never able to give Marigold.  Please DONATE, toward her medical care so we can help more pups like Marigold and Cassia.
