Khaleesi

Khaleesi

It was with tremendous sadness that we made the decision today to let Khaleesi go.  Her cancers were only getting worse, and different treatments were having no effect.

We rescued her just a month ago as she was reported with terrible wounds all over her body. When we brought her to the Sanctuary and had her assessed by the vet we found out that she had multiple mast cell tumors. Unlike TVT tumors, mast cell is extremely difficult to treat. It responds best to a chemo called vinblastin - which luckily we had in stock. After two sessions there was no improvement and there were new tumors popping up.

We switched to another type of chemo and that also had no effect.  Her cancer was particularly aggressive and there was no way to treat it so we made the decision to end her suffering.  Its always such a hard decision but definitely the right one for poor Khaleesi - its just always difficult to make.
We gave her a lovely service and told her how much she was loved.  Run free Khaleesi.
You can read about Khaleesi's time with us on her profile page
