Santa Bárbara reported a distressing case—a puppy with a gigantic tumor on his back, suffering from severe deprivation and infested with ticks. Emaciated and drained of vitality, the puppy faced a bleak existence. Despite the physical and mental exhaustion, his eyes held a glimmer of hope.

Taking swift action, our team intervened to address the urgent needs of this ailing pup. He was infested with ticks, making an immediate surgical procedure unfeasible.

The initial steps involved administering medication to eliminate the ticks, albeit his weakened state made immediate surgery impractical. The road to recovery began with providing the pup with three meals a day and daily vitamin supplements.

Renamed Qυasito, meaning “little thing,” the pup displayed a remarkable spirit, always exuding hope. As his health improved, plans for a surgery to remove the tumor were set in motion.

Although his physical condition was precarious, Qυasito’s resilience became evident. The surgery, aimed at removing the colossal 10-pound tumor, proved to be successful.

Post-surgery, Qυasito woke up feeling well and received diligent care to ensure his wound healed properly. Discharged from the veterinary care, Qυasito continued his journey to recovery at home. Day by day, his spirit shone brighter, and his once-emaciated body began to gain weight.

The pup’s transformation was nothing short of miraculous. With each passing day, Qυasito regained strength, and his wound healed completely. Weight loss and hemoglobin treatments became part of his care plan. What was once a heart burdened with despair now overflowed with love and gratitude.

Qυasito’s story had a fairy-tale ending—he found his forever home with those who had cared for him during his darkest days. The tale of this brave pup exemplifies the transformative power of compassion and care, proving that even in the face of despair, resilience and love can lead to a new beginning.
