🐾 Oscar’s incredible story ❤️
Meet Oscar, an 11-year-old Staffie whose owners noticed that his belly was gradually getting bigger and that he was slowing down a little.
Thankfully, they trusted their instincts and brought him in for investigation. Our team discovered that Oscar had a huge splenic tumour — something that can easily go unnoticed until it becomes very large.
Oscar underwent surgery to remove his spleen and the tumour, and we’re absolutely delighted to share some fantastic news… 🥳
🔬 The tumour was a leiomyoma, a benign tumour — meaning the news couldn’t have been much better!
Oscar has done amazingly well and is now on the road to getting back to his old self. ❤️🐶
His story is a great reminder that subtle changes in an older pet — a bigger tummy, slowing down, changes in appetite or behaviour — are always worth getting checked.
We’re so pleased for Oscar and his family. What a superstar! 🌟🐾
