๐พHappy Friday K&S friends
We're back with another pupdate ๐ถ
A few weeks ago we saved this gentle soul named Nova. ๐ฉท this sweet girl somehow found herself at our local shelter. She wasn't spayed, she had a large mammary mass and she tested positive for heartworms ๐ข
We couldn't let her sit in the shelter waiting, so we jumped right in to help her start her healing journey. Fast forward to today Nova is healing from her surgery, and soon she will begin heartworm treatment. She also busted out of boarding today thanks to an amazing foster.
We received her histopath results and they weren't what we were hoping for but we'll take it one day at a time. The mass that was removed came back as Complex Carcinoma Grade 1. What does this mean?! It means Nova has the dreaded C word ๐ but it is low grade. The surgeon that performed the surgery got good margins and there was no signs of metastasis. As of right now Nova is in the clear, but we'll have to keep an eye on her for any new growths that could potentially pop up.
For now Nova is resting in her foster home ๐ก and we'll continue to keep you all updated.
Thank you to everyone that pledged, sent kind messages and advocated for Nova ๐ฅน
We couldn't do what we do without all of you ๐ซ
