- A stray dog was seen on video entering a veterinary clinic in Brazil on Saturday before staff treated him for a cancerous tumor
- The tumor was discovered after the dog presented an ingrown toenail in a paw
- Veterinarian Dayse Silva said the dog is feeling better after undergoing his first chemotherapy session to remove the tumor from his genital area.
A stray dog that was seen in the surveillance film that was walking in a veterinary clinic in Brazil is now under the personal care of one of his doctors after being treated for a cancerous tumor.
Several customers were waiting with their ponies to be cared for when the dog limped on Saturday at the Vet VIP offices in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará.
Veterinarian Dayse Silva sat behind the counter and approached the dog as he checked his surroundings and sat down.
The Vet VIP surveillance camera system recorded the moment when a stray dog entered the clinic alone on Saturday, before the staff found out that he had a cancerous tumor after being treated for an ingrown toenail. The dog is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is waiting to be adopted
According to veterinarian Dayse Silva, the dog will stay with her while receiving her rounds of chemotherapy.
The doctor initially detected an ingrown toenail after greeting her with his paw and wagging his tail. Subsequent tests revealed the dog’s tumor in his genital area, requiring him to undergo chemotherapy.
– It’s very good. Excited, intelligent, very different from when he came here ‘, said Silva in an interview given to the Brazilian online portal G1.

“She has no bleeding and no signs of pain. He reacted well to the first chemotherapy session and we will evaluate each new procedure to find out how much he will need … ‘
Silva opened her new friend’s family home as he recovers and travels with her to the clinic for his daily treatment.
The VIP veterinary clinic received calls from residents interested in adopting him, but none visited in person to complete the necessary adoption documents.
An online fundraiser to cover the cost of caring for the dog exceeded the clinic’s goal of $ 713.
