Meet Honey, This is the poor soul Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary rescued today. Honey was dumped in severe condition with the biggest tumor on her face. She was in discomfort for a long time since she was swollen and infected.
” We are with her now at Animal Wellness getting X-rays to find out if this mass is treatable. Her early blood tests revealed that her organs were working OK, but she is anemic. She was also found to have heartworm.
They will put her on anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks and also work on raising her red blood cell count. She will then require surgery and chemotherapy. She stands a high chance of living a regular, happy life!
She need to do surgery to remove the mass, followed by chemo if it is cancerous. Given the position of the tumour, surgeons will need to do the procedure at Animal Wellness, where they have gas anaesthetic, giving Honey the highest chance of survival.
Her red blood cell count is still low after 15 days in the center, therefore she will have a transfusion. Hopefully, surgery will be performed soon after.
“Day 17: Honey’s operation has just begun. Just before she was sedated, she was photographed with Rina and Rudylyn. We will do the procedure at Animal Wellness since gas anaesthesia is safer for more serious instances. Because the tumor is so close to her brain, the procedure will be lengthy and complicated.
Day 19: Honey’s surgery was as successful as it could be given that the tumor had grown around so many of her facial and optical nerves. Unfortunately, the nerves controlling her left eyelid had to be severed, leaving her with a little droop.
The tumor was huge, and as a result the surgical wound is large. She is eating chicken which is a good sign. She will be able to live a normal life even without it. She is already eating on her own, but her face is still swollen from the operation and inflammation, so doctors are hopeful she will eat more once that subsides.
She is still in the very early stages of recovery from such an invasive surgery, and each day she survives without complications, is a blessing. She made it through the procedure!!! Honey is still deemed critical, but she is awake and breathing.
“We just had the results of Honey’s tumor biopsied and unfortunately it’s malignant. Doxorubicin is the most effective chemotherapy treatment for the type of cancer she has. We must act quickly to halt the spread of any cancer that may still be present in Honey’s system.”
She hadaother tumor in her vagina but the amazing news is that the tumor in her vagina has shrunk by 60 percent since she started chemo and she has only had two sessions so far.
After more than 3 months, she’s gaining weight and is generally in good spirits despite being on chemo. Her prognosis is still uncertain because chemo affects the organs, but we are confident she will recover completely.
Man is horrified by what he found inside a bag of broccoli He Purchased from an Aldi
A surprising and unsettling incident occurred when Neville Linton, a 63-year-old man from West Midlands, England, discovered a snake in a bag of broccoli he had purchased from Aldi. This unexpected encounter left him frightened, particularly because he had a fear of snakes.
Linton, who works in industrial cleaning, immediately sought help from his relatives, who assisted in safely removing the snake from his kitchen. He expressed his relief that the snake hadn’t been left loose in the house, as it posed a risk to the vulnerable individuals living with him, including his disabled son and mother-in-law.
After identifying the snake, Linton and his sister, Ann-Marie Tenkanemin, 57, trapped it in a plastic container and returned it to Aldi. Although he received some compensation, Linton believes the situation should warrant more due to the potential risks it posed to his family and the emotional impact it had on him.
Aldi responded by stating that this was an isolated incident and that their supplier has robust processes in place to prevent such issues. They apologized to Mr. Linton for not meeting their usual high standards.
The snake found in the broccoli was identified as a young ladder snake, according to Linton’s son, Donovan, 41. Although they can look intimidating, ladder snakes are not venomous and are commonly found in various European regions. They primarily feed on rodents, birds, spiders, lizards, and insects, making them non-threatening to humans. The snake has been relocated to the Dudley Zoo.
However, herpetologist Dr. Steven J. R. Allain disagreed with the identification, suggesting that the snake was a viperine water snake, which is also non-dangerous to humans. He explained that these snakes do not bite humans as a defense mechanism and are considered non-venomous. He theorized that the snake likely ended up in the broccoli due to agricultural equipment scooping it up while it was moving through a field.
Allain emphasized the need to educate the public about these species to reduce fear and misunderstanding.
