A stray dog that was seen in a surveillance video entering a veterinary clinic in Brazil is now under the personal care of one of its doctors after being treated for a cancerous tumor.
A couple of customers were waiting with their dogs to be attended to when the dog jumped into the VIP vet’s offices in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, on Saturday.
Veterinarian Dayse Silva was standing behind the counter and approached the dog as he checked his surroundings and sat down.
Vet VIP’s surveillance camera system recorded the time a stray dog entered the clinic himself on Saturday, before staff learned he had a cancerous tumor after treating an ingrown toenail on his paw. . The dog is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is awaiting adoption
According to VIP veterinarian Dayse Silva, the dog will stay with her while she receives her chemotherapy
The doctor initially detected an ingrown toenail after he greeted her with his paw and moved his tail. Other tests revealed the dog’s tumor in his genital area, which required chemotherapy.
It’s very good. “Excited, smart, very different from when he came here,” Silva said in an interview with Brazilian online portal G1.

“He no longer has bleeding and shows no signs of pain. He reacted well to the first session of chemotherapy and we will evaluate each new procedure to find out how many he will need … ‘
Silva opened his family home to his new friend while he recovers and travels with her to the clinic for his daily treatment.
The VIP veterinary clinic has received calls from residents interested in adopting him, but none has visited him in person to fill out the necessary adoption documents.
An online fundraiser to cover the cost of dog care exceeded the clinic’s goal of $ 713.
