Street Dog ‘Big Black’ Now Cancer Free!

Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to treat this gentle stray dog who needed regular treatment to reduce and remove painful tumours.

Since reopening earlier this year, our PAT clinic has been busy helping to sterilise and vaccinate hundreds of street dogs in Hua Hin and the surrounding areas. Sadly, some of the street dogs we encounter require urgent medical care.

Big Black was one of the many dogs desperately in need of help. When we found him, he was suffering from TVT cancer, which causes painful lesions and tumours near the genitals, nose, and mouth.

The disease is a sexually transmitted cancer that affects dogs. Not only can it prove deadly to individuals, but it risks being spread widely across entire populations of street dogs.

Thankfully, TVT can be successfully treated with chemotherapy and PAT’s veterinary team were able to get to work straight away with a medical plan for Big Black.

After six rounds of chemotherapy, Big Black has been successfully treated and is now cancer free!

A huge “thank you” to PAT’s supporters and donors who make life-saving work like this possible – it means the world to dogs like Big Black.
