Brando Can't Catch a Break
Tax deductible
Brando is probably one of the nicest dogs you will ever meet! This sweet red teddy bear was rescued from a City shelter in seemingly good health but we quickly realized that he had numerous medical issues.
First were the seizures/tremors/collapsing episodes. We consulted with a vet who diagnosed Brando with a heart murmur, so off to the cardiologist he went for further evaluation. The cardiologist confirmed a high level heart murmur with some changes to the overall function of the heart but luckily the condition is currently stable, it is unlikely the cause of Brando's seizures/tremors/collapsing episodes. Brando probably has a seizure disorder (like epilepsy) and may at some point do a trial anti-seizure medication.
Then two growths suddenly appeared (one on his leg and one on his neck.) A preliminary biopsy was done which confirmed a high grade malignant (cancerous) mast cell tumor. Brando will have surgery to remove both lumps which hopefully will remove all of the cancer.
Please keep Brando in your thoughts.
