after multiple chemo treatments female stray is now cancer free

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY10 months ago

When we brought this dog in it was merely for a standard vaccination and parasite prevention. We were unhappy to discover that she had TVT (a type of K9 cancer) and while it is a simple procedure - far more simple than with humans - it is normally a long road and is difficult to treat with animals that don't always stay in the same place. One treatment of chemo is normally a waste of time and with dogs that live on the street it can prove difficult to find them a second (or 3rd) time for their treatment.

We were lucky with this one though because she has a wonderful demeanor and was always very happy to see us. The local community that she lives in, although still without a permanent home, commented that she is very friendly to everyone and is well-fed by all of the people in the neighborhood. She is basically a community animal and they all do their part to make sure she is alright. It is forgivable that they would not be providing medicine because unfortunately that just isn't part of the Thai culture when it comes to stray dogs.

We were concerned that we wouldn't be able to find her for the repeated treatments but thankfully our worries were unwarranted. She doesn't seem to go very far from a small few block area and by simply driving around we could always find her lying in the shade somewhere and as soon as she spotted us approaching, her tail would start wagging. Thankfully she was also very easy to handle and to put into the crates for transport to and from the veterinarian.

With such a great attitude and friendly nature, I am surprised that no one has taken her on full time. Again, this is just kind of part of Thai culture. I find it strange that people wouldn't want to look after an animal better but I am not going to judge another country just because I was raised somewhere else. We are all just celebratory that after her last treatment we brought her in and the vet has stated that she is now completely cancer free.

So now we are taking her back to the neighborhood that she calls home and are leaving our cards with some of the people that live there and asking them to call us if there is ever any other problems with her, or any other dogs that might live in the neighborhood. Although we do wish they would do a lot more than they do, these watchful eyes in those areas make our job considerably easier and more productive.

We are absolutely delighted that this doggo, who doesn't have a name as far as we can tell, is going to be alright.

Good news and a big win for the animals you take care of as this could have ended up in such a different way. I am also surprised that this one has not been adopted as she looks like a proper family loving dog.

yes, we are very surprised about this as well but then again we have never tried to put her up for adoptions because we were unaware of her existence until about a month ago. We'll probably push for this in the near future though.

Hey, I just wanted to drop you a note. I'm doing a bit of digging on an account that hacked one of my accounts. In that digging I see you just transferred 400 HBD to that hacker account. If you sent it on purpose, excuse my interruption. If not, you should change your keys before it cleans you out.

what account hacked your account? I know nothing about this and now you have me worried.

I'm sorry to hear that. Check your wallet. You should see a 400 HBD transfer.

Hopefully you can find your original keys with the Owners key. With that you should be able to change your keys and shut him down.

thanks but that transfer was done intentionally and it was something I initiated and received on the other end without issue. I am happy people like you are being watchdogs though.

Great, yes, I just realized it could be the hacker was just using a legit service to handle their ill gotten gains. The account that got me had transferred funds to that account.

Glad you didn't lose your money, and I'm glad that account is legit! I see a lot of HIVE goes through it.

PS. Absolutely LOVE your mission! Great work!

ionomy is just a gateway to an exchange where HBD can be converted into Hive as well as other things. It's a legit exchange as far as I know.
