Sadly, after a complete workup at our vet’s office, we discovered our sweet girl is filled with cancer. Our vet removed 2 large tumors and 1 small tumor, but she has 20-30 small tumors throughout her coat. Her biopsies came back as multiple mast cell tumors. Unfortunately, this is very typical of the breed, especially at her age. Sophie is also on meds for incontinence that she is required to take for the rest of her life.
Sophie looks great and is doing very well at the moment, and our vet feels she could have several months to a year left of a comfortable life. UPDATE: We are very happy to update that her foster mom has decided to keep her for her remaining time with us, so she does not need to make any more transitions.
As an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Pet Rescue of Mercer relies heavily on your donations to continue saving lives. you would like to make a donation towards Sophie’s care, contributions can be made online through our website www.petrescueofmercer.org or mailed directly to us at Pet Rescue of Mercer, P.O. Box 2574, Hamilton, NJ 08690.
