Some bad news from Bob, he has cancer. To be specific he has TVT or Transmissible Veneral Tumour.
Poor Bob, he just can't catch a break.
I'd been wondering why Bob's fur hadn't quite got nice ans shiny yet, and why his appetite was so large, but only slow weight gain. I Had put it down to metabolism.
Then around the house, I saw some pale drops of blood. I didn't think much of it at first and thought maybe it's a mild cut somewhere on one of my dogs.
Then the drops didn't go away and got darker. After giving everyone a thorough check I saw it was from Bob's man parts. I would have notice blood in his p*e though, but there wasn't any.
After taking him to we got the news that it was TVT.
It seems Bob, despite being blind, knew how to woo a lady or two. TVT is passed on mainpy through secual contact between dogs. Left untreated of course it would kill them. We couldn't possibly have known about this before as there were no symptoms. It seems his tumour took a while to grow after his rescue.
The good news is, this is treatable. Bob needs a weekly chemotherapy session in order to get rid of the tumour so we will be proceeding with that. Hopefully, the tumour will be gone after four sessions. Wish Bob luck.
