Rescue Story

Successful Removal of Mammary Tumour

A female cat with an open, infected mammary tumour arrived at HIS in distress. She was stabilised with antibiotics and analgesics, and full blood work ensured she was fit for anaesthesia. Our surgeons removed a 200-gram tumour, followed by 15 days of controlled post-operative wound care and monitoring.She made a complete recovery and returned to normal activity. Her case reinforces the importance of early intervention in cancer-related illnesses in street animals.

Hind Limb Paralysis Reversed Through Physiotherapy

checks revealed preserved reflexes, suggesting potential for recovery. X-rays ruled out fractures and spinal deformities but showed swelling in the lumbar region. The treatment protocol included anti-inflammatory medication, laser therapy and supervised physiotherapy.Within 30 days, he regained independent mobility and began walking confidently again. His recovery highlights the power of targeted rehabilitation and the expertise of the HIS medical team.

Large Chest Tumour (500 g) Surgically Treated

HIS rescued a dog with a massive, hanging tumour on his left chest – obstructing movement and causing significant discomfort. Diagnostics and blood tests were carried out to ensure he could safely undergo anaesthesia. A complex tumour excision surgery was performed, successfully removing a 500-gram growth. He then received 12 days of intensive post-operative care followed by additional rehabilitation.By day 20, he had made a remarkable recovery and was released back to his territory, active and pain-free. This case demonstrates HIS’s ability to handle major surgical challenges in street animals.

250 g Tumour Removed from Shoulder

A dog struggling with a large tumour on his right inner shoulder was brought to HIS. Blood work showed stable vitals, allowing us to proceed with surgery. Our veterinary surgeons removed a 250-gram tumour and monitored him closely during recovery with pain management, antibiotics, and daily wound care. After 10 days, his stitches were removed and mobility restored. He was released back to his community – given a second chance at a healthy life.

Deep Laceration Wound Successfully Repaired

A dog with a deep laceration wound, badly contaminated with mud and debris, arrived at Help in Suffering in severe pain. Immediate wound stabilisation was critical to prevent infection and sepsis. Under anaesthesia, our team irrigated the wound thoroughly, debrided damaged tissue, and performed primary suturing. Daily dressing, antibiotics, and analgesics supported healing.Ten days later, the sutures were removed and the wound had healed perfectly. Once fully recovered, the dog was released back to his territory – pain-free and mobile again.
