Georgie

UPDATE 12 NOVEMBER: Early last Thursday morning  Georgie and Denise made their way to the Bondi Veterinary Clinic for a consultation with Dr Chris Brown. The film crew from the television series Bondi Vet were there to film Georgie meeting Dr Chris and also the surgery that she had later that day. Georgie’s journey will be on the next series of Bondi Vet in 2014 and we know that she will have a new home by the time the show goes to air so hope that her new family (who are yet to be found) will be happy to participate in the show when she says farewell to PAWS and begins her new life in her forever home. Georgie came to us from Blacktown Pound under duty of care about two weeks ago as she had a huge growth hanging from her back leg which, when removed, weighed 250 grams. She also had a very large hernia, an early mammary tumour, was undesexed and needed a dental. Dr Chris did the surgery to remove the leg growth, mammary tumour, hernia and also desexed Georgie. The surgery time was three hours and Georgie was a stoic little dog as she went through the surgery without as much as a whimper. The very next morning Denise went back to Bondi Vet to bring Georgie home and Dr Chris brought her out on a lead. She ran into the room to greet Denise with a big smile on her face then stayed on her lap, happy to be back with her foster mum. Georgie’s lumps and bumps have been sent away for histopathology and we expect her to be given the 'all clear'. We won't know the results for a few days so it will be an anxious wait but we remain positive. Georgie is resting comfortably and is on pain medication and antibiotics for another week so will go back to the the vet for her dental once she has fully recovered from this surgery. Georgie is a beautiful little dog, full of the joy of life and she will make a wonderful companion for a family who have another little dog. Georgie loves to be with her humans and would also like a little doggy friend to cuddle up and play with when she goes to her new home. No money is donated to PAWS by Bondi Vet and we pay for all surgeries ourselves.

UPDATE 15 NOVEMBER: Georgie's test results are back and we are pleased to say that her mammary tumour was benign and the large growth was just a lipoma, a benign tumour composed of adipose tissue (body fat) so she is a very lucky girl!
