Woopy is a brave nine-year-old terrier who faced a challenging health scare. Woopy was referred to Dylan at Animal Trust Ellesmere Port hospital after being diagnosed with a malignant tumour located in a difficult spot over her elbow.  

After thorough investigations to check for any signs of the tumour spreading, Woopy underwent surgery to remove the mass. The procedure was complex, requiring not only the tumour removal but also reconstructive surgery to close the wound afterwards.  

Woopy’s recovery has been remarkable, the wound healed beautifully, and most importantly, the results showed that the tumour was completely removed, leaving Woopy with a great long-term prognosis!  

This success story is a reminder of how crucial timely veterinary care is. Woopy’s story highlights the difference early intervention can make in a pet’s recovery. Here’s to many more years of tail wags and walks on the beach for Woopy!

Mass Removal

We can evaluate a new or longstanding growth, determining whether immediate surgery is needed or if further testing — such as biopsies or diagnostic procedures — would provide a clearer understanding before recommending treatment options.

You can trust us to provide honest advice tailored to your pet’s well-being. While surgery is often the best approach for tumours, in some cases, medication or palliative care may be recommended to ensure the best possible quality of life for both you and your pet.
