A stray dog who walked into a vet clinic in Brazil on surveillance video is now under the personal care of one of his doctors after being treated for a cancerous tumor.
A few clients were waiting with their puppies to be taken care of when the dog entered Vet VIP’s office in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará on Saturday.
Veterinarian Dayse Silva stood behind the counter and walked over to the dog while he examined his surroundings and sat down.
Vet VIP’s camera system recorded the moment a stray dog entered the clinic alone on Saturday, before staff learned he had a cancerous growth after treating an ingrown nail in his paw. The dog is currently undergoing chemotherapy and awaiting adoption
According to Vet VIP vet Dayse Silva, the dog will stay with her while he gets his rounds of chemotherapy.
The doctor initially discovered an ingrown nail after greeting her with his paw and wagging his tail. Further tests revealed the dog’s tumor from his genital area, forcing him to undergo chemotherapy.
‘He is doing very well. Excited, smart, very different from when he came here, ”Silva said in an interview with the Brazilian online portal G1.
Dayse Silva takes care of the dog shortly after he entered the clinic with a limp
“He is no longer bleeding and showing no signs of pain. He responded well to the first chemotherapy session and we will evaluate each new procedure to find out how much he needs … ‘
Silva opened her family’s home to her new boyfriend as he recovers and travels with her to the clinic for his daily treatment.
Veterinarian VIP Clinic has received calls from residents who wanted to adopt him, but no one had come in person to complete the required adoption documents.
An online effort to raise money to cover dog care costs surpassed the clinic’s goal of $ 713.
