🐾 Iggy’s success story 🐾
Iggy, a wonderful guide dog, came to see our vet Farid in January after suddenly developing several swollen lumps. During the consultation, Farid performed needle biopsies which were sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The results unfortunately showed that Iggy had lymphoma — an aggressive cancer of the lymph nodes which can have a prognosis of only a few weeks if left untreated. Thankfully, recent advances in veterinary medicine mean that this condition can often be treated with chemotherapy.
Iggy now visits us every week for blood tests and chemotherapy treatment. After completing his first five weeks of treatment, Iggy is back to his lively self! His lymph nodes have returned to normal, and we’re delighted to say he is now in remission. 💙
Here you can see Iggy patiently waiting for his treats while our nurse Sophie administers his chemotherapy. He has been the bravest patient and always brings smiles to the team.
Iggy’s story is a great reminder to always check any lumps and bumps you find on your pet. If you’re ever worried, it’s always best to book a consultation and have them checked by your vet.
