Max gets chemo

The global vets students arrived safely on Saturday. They brought along with them some drugs to treat Max (the resident dog) who has a transmissible venereal tumor on his prepuce. A couple weeks back there was a local veterinarian at the office saying he would treat Max with surgery. We were very nervous about the prospect of a dirty surgery on the front porch and we knew of a medical therapy that is much more effective. So, we sent the vet on his way, requested and received our drugs from Canada and gave good ol' max his first treatment. He was suprisingly good and his happy smile is well worth the cost of the drugs. Afterwards, we rewarded him with a bag of scrap from the butchers. Max likes the goat tails, complete with fur, the most! Mmmmmmmm.
