Special thanks to Shelly for taking Brownie into foster care! Now Brownie's got a comfortable place to stay while we assess her medical issues and figure out a plan of action for her. We'll find out next week how serious her mammary lumps are. Stay tuned for news!
Introducing Brownie! She's a 4-8 year old Chihuahua who was found as a stray. She's a lively, spunky girl who will be available for adoption as soon as we know more about her medical status. She was found to have several lumps on her mammary glands, and we are waiting for word on how serious they are.
She's been accepted into a University of Pennsylvania study on mammary masses, which is great news because Penn will perform surgery for free to remove them, and they'll also provide lifelong care for her condition. As a study participant, she'll help the veterinary community learn more about mammary masses in dogs like her who weren't spayed at an early age. (A few of our other dogs have been in this study, including former resident Teena.)
Brownie goes in for surgery Wednesday; after that, we'll find out whether her masses are cancerous, and how we can best plan for her future. Stay tuned for news and think good thoughts for Brownie!
This multicolored brood came in with their mother and have spent the last few weeks in a foster home. They're just learning how to eat on their own.
