Who remembers the "20 yr old" dog we took from San Jose Animal Care Center? Aunt Jeni was surrendered by her owner for euthanasia because she was (supposedly) 20 years old and had an abdomen "full of tumors". We welcomed her into our hospice program after a plea from the volunteers at San Jose Animal Advocates and Tails of a Shelter Vet Wellllllll.. there has been a happy development. When our veterinary team was checking her over to see what we needed to do to make her comfortable, they were perplexed. Neither of our veterinarians thought she was 20 years old and both thought she was more like 12-15. They also could find no evidence that she was dying... like NONE. They examined her, palpated her abdomen, took x-rays and ran some bloodwork. Nothing pointed to a dying dog. She also does not act like a dying dog... she trots around after her foster moms, eats like a horse and jumps on and off the couch like she is a youngster. She DOES have a big ulcerated mass on her hip that is likely a skin tag that was chewed. She also has a fatty tumor under one of her front legs. Both are likely benign. She has some "old dog warts" but those are nothing to be concerned about. They can be removed with a pretty simple surgery. **UPDATE*** Jeni had her surgery and has recovered and is doing well. She is a regular adoption candidate! So, they sent us to an internist at Encina Veterinary Hospital (shoutout to Dr Wang -- we Aaaaaannnnndddddd... she agreed. This is not a dying dog. She did an ultrasound, an echocardiogram, some bloodwork and took her blood pressure. Officially not dying (yay). She told us she was cleared to have surgery to remove her bumps and get her teeth all shiny. There are a few things we have to monitor on her but all in all she is healthy as a horse considering her age which we (and our vet team) have decided is 14 (it's all just a guess). So, now Aunt Jeni needs surgery to have her lumps removed and biopsied. She needs her teeth cleaned. And we need your help! **UPDATE*** Surgery done and Jeni is healed :) We need to raise $1000 to get Aunt Jeni the care she needs to become ADOPTABLE. Yes, adoptable. She has been kicked out of our hospice program and booted into our adoption program. She will be ADOPTABLE once she heals from her surgery.
