We've been keeping a surprise under wraps, hoping to share it once all of the girls had gone through the program, but recent events have made us realize we shouldn't wait any longer.
Most of you probably don't know that many of our female pigs have never been spayed due to the cost. Earlier this year, an incredibly generous anonymous donor stepped forward and offered to make that possible.
For the past 10 weeks, we've been quietly taking one girl each week for her spay surgery. What we didn't expect was how many hidden health issues we would uncover along the way.
Addy, 8 years old, was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the breast. Thankfully, because of this surgery, the cancer was discovered and she is now receiving the care she needs.
Marlowe, 10 years old, wasn't as fortunate. During surgery, veterinarians discovered a massive uterine tumor that had adhered to her other organs. Sadly, the damage was too extensive, and the heartbreaking decision was made to humanely euthanize her.
As devastating as Marlowe's loss is, it also reinforces just how important this program has been. These surgeries are doing far more than preventing unwanted pregnancies. They are allowing us to identify serious, often life-threatening conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed until it is too late.
We are incredibly grateful to the anonymous donor who made this possible. Because of their generosity, these girls are getting a chance at healthier lives, and in some cases, desperately needed medical intervention. ❤️
Please keep Addy in your thoughts and remember sweet Marlowe today. 🐷💕
