Look at that handsome face! 🐾
Charlie’s owner brought him in for a skin cancer check after noticing a small lesion on his nose. Luckily, the lesion was caught in its early stages, allowing Charlie to undergo a cryotherapy procedure.
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold, delivered via liquid nitrogen, to freeze and destroy abnormal cells. This helps control the tumour and, hopefully, prevent further growth.
Because the lesion was detected early, cryotherapy provided a less invasive treatment option than surgery, which may have required removal of a significant portion of Charlie’s nose.
A great reminder to keep an eye out for any new or changing lumps, bumps or lesions on your pet. Early detection can make a big difference. 💙
