This happy girl is Lucy! Lucy was diagnosed with mammary cancer after a lump that had been there for a year suddenly had rapid growth. It was removed and unfortunately came back as an aggressive breast cancer. Lucy has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments and she has done great! She was so glad we had a bone to choose from the toy basket for graduation, she layed down and went right to chewing it. Happy graduation day Lucy!

Meet Pacifica and her dad! We have been treating Pacifica for a mast cell tumor. Her treatment type was a pill, so she got a yummy treat every time she came to see us. She was a little nervous at first, but it didn't take her long to realize we were the treat place. This girl did so well with her chemo and we were so happy to see her graduate and pick a toy!

This big silly guy is Gus! Gus was referred to us by the ophthalmologist here at TVS to evaluate a large, high grade mast cell tumor on his eyelid. Unfortunately, enucleation was the only option to get all of the mass removed. Gus did just fine with the surgery and he also did fantastic with his chemotherapy. He recently graduated and was super excited to get right to chewing his bone that he picked on graduation day. Happy graduation, Gus!

This little stinker is Freda! She is an 11 year old Corgi who we have been treating for lymphoma since January. Freda had a fairly large volume of disease, but this girl does not know she has cancer. She took every opportunity to do all her tricks to try to earn a treat and even learned how to open the lid to our treat jar in the chemo room and help herself. Freda loved picking a toy at graduation, she barked the whole time. We love your sassy, happy personality! Great job Freda!

Meet Hunter and his sweet family! We started seeing Hunter in February for an oral plasmacytoma. About 1 month into treatment, Hunter collapsed and required emergency surgery to remove his spleen which had a bleeding mass on it. The splenic mass was diagnosed as a different type of cancer, hemangiosarcoma. Since the oral lesion was not bothering Hunter, his parents decided to switch gears and treat the splenic mass. Much to our surprise, the oral tumor also responded to the treatment for the splenic cancer!.Hunter recently finished his treatment and graduated Way to go Hunter!

This shy guy is Zeus. His mom took him to see his primary care vet because he had some bleeding from his p***s. It turns out that he actually had a small tumor on the inside of his prepuce that was the culprit. It was removed and diagnosed as a low grade mast cell tumor. Even though it was low grade, because it was on his ge****ls we know that it will behave more aggressively and chemotherapy is indicated. Zeus did fantastic and never missed a beat! He was not shy about picking the big carrot for graduation! We love you Zeus!

Meet Koda and his adorable family! Koda has been coming to see Dr. Upton for treatment of his lymphoma, one of the most common types of cancer that we see in dogs. This big bubba did very well through treatment and recently picked a bone for his graduation! Good job Koda!
