Pooh came to us through our buyout program with many large masses. Dr Gina and Dr Lydia work along side each other to remove these masses so Pooh can better enjoy life.
Doctors you did everything possible for a donkey that would not have chance otherwise. Thank you for all of your hard work on Pooh's behalf. I know it was hard to hear what came back for this sweet donkey. I know the last act of kindness was the best thing for him. Malignant tumors that come back would not be comfortable for him. I have been through this with my own dog and she just had cancer of the connective tissue of the skin. She had a half pound tumor on the inside connected to her skin . She was only an 18 pound half corgi/ dachshund. The Vet had to basically filet the tumor off the underside of her skin she had a 4 in incision.. the cancer didn't take her life renal disease did. I kept her comfort for a whole year with that. Then it was time. Those decisions don't come easy but we have to be there when they need us the most to stop there suffering. Thankyou for trying. Love from Pennsylvania 😊🐕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾
Poor Boy. Thank you all for your efforts in trying to save his life, sadly it wasn’t to be for Pooh but your wonderful work continues and you save so many that would otherwise have been lost to slaughter. Bless you all ❤️.
I really like these vet videos, I’m sorry the pathology report found the result that it did but I am so glad you rescued him and were able to try to save him and that he will have a gentle passing and not go to slaughter. Thank you for your explanation and your care.
I was hoping the tumors were benign too. But not only for Pooh's sake plus the possibility he could of spread this deadly virus, euthanasia saved the lives of other equine. Thank you for your care and kindness.
How many people saw this donkey was sick and still continued to sell him and leave him without veterinary care? Sad ending, but better than him continuing to suffer and be in the auction pipeline spreading the virus and getting other animals sick. Seriously, some owners have no shame.
Pooh had his most excellent life under Dr. Lydia, Dr. Gina, and HP. I'm sorry the end result was not the one hoped for, but it was for the best to give him the last act of kindness. He had an awesome life at HP, and a peaceful end at HP.
Oh no, poor Pooh, I was hoping he would come through his surgery with good results on the histology. Such a cute little lad, my heart is breaking, but I believe that you both made the right decision. Fly free Pooh. Kim in New Zealand
❤❤It was an amazing surgery. Both Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina showed the utmost care and compassion for Pooh. He had time relaxing without those masses hurting him. You all gave him that grace time. I'm sorry for the outcome. Many hugs.
Oh, Pooh... I was crying happy tears during surgery. At least at last for a minute he was able to feel normal in his Pooh corner, and loved. That's a big deal, thank you.🕊️
A sad outcome for Pooh. The surgery was a success but the prognosis long term would not be allow Pooh to have a good quality of life. No more pain and suffering. Thank you Dr Lydia and Dr Gina and all who assisted in this surgery.
Well ladies, we all know you did everything you could to save Pooh's life, but unfortunately his labs just didn't come back with the answers we were all hoping for 😢. But he was given (by our amazing vets) every chance they could. The good thing is he will never be in pain ever again, and the cancer he had will not be spread to any other animals. RIP Pooh, you were a very cute little guy. Love and God Bless you at HP VETS 💜 ✝️ Grandma Jennifer in AZ
I’m so sorry Dr Lydia and Dr Gina, that’s not the result you wanted but I know the decision you’ve both come to is definitely in Pooh’s best interest. He would have suffered if he’d been allowed to continue bless his heart. Bless you all, that was very technical surgery you performed, well done in diagnosing this poor boy and getting him through the first stages and for giving him the relief he needed. You’re an incredible team. Love and light to you always. 🙏🏻🫶✨
Too bad. At least you all tried to help this young guy. I wish you all had better surgical lighting. These procedures can not be easy in poor light. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Sorry to hear the Pooh's prognosis following the surgery and the risk of infection being carried to other equines means that he should be euthanised, since his own health is also very likely to suffer from repeated tumerous growths. Thank you for your very comprehensive veterinary updates.
I keep thinking it would be nice to have a platform in the floor to lay them down on, then push lever and it would raise up to a more comfortable height for you. You two Drs are doing a terrific job taking care of the animals❤
Hi vets, very educational video. I have a suggestion for another after care ointment. It's called dermagel. I used it on my mare when she had a large would on her rump (cantaloupe size) from being hit by a semi truck. The only thing you do is apply daily 2 x a day after cold hose rinsing. He also deters flies and helps prevent granulation tissue. I think Valley Vet till carries it.
What a shame. He looked like a lovely donkey. I fully understand the need to put him to sleep.😢😢 you all do a wonderful job n you can't afford to have diseases go throughout your stable. Have a great day /night.
I suspect the people who gave him up already knew what was going on, but chose to make a few bucks off him, rather than spending the money to have him put down
Have you ever done laser removal of a mass? I imagine a laser machine is quite expensive.. But I think it would be very beneficial. I had laser surgery on skin cancers. Did great.
