- A stray dog was seen on video entering a veterinary clinic in Brazil on Saturday, before the team treated him for a cancerous tumor
- The tumor was discovered after the dog had a nail embedded in a paw

A stray dog who was seen on a surveillance video entering a veterinary clinic in Brazil is now in the personal care of one of his doctors after being treated for a cancerous tumor.
Some customers were waiting with their dogs to be served when the dog hobbled into the Vet VIP office in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, on Saturday.
Veterinarian Dayse Silva was standing behind the counter and approached the dog while he checked the surroundings and sat down.
Vet VIP’s surveillance camera system recorded the moment when a stray dog entered the clinic alone on Saturday, before the team discovered he had a cancerous tumor after treating a nail embedded in his paw. The dog is currently undergoing chemotherapy and waiting to be adopted
According to veterinarian Vet VIP Dayse Silva, the dog will stay with her while he receives the rounds of chemotherapy
The doctor initially detected an ingrown nail after shaking it with his paw and wagging his tail. Other tests revealed the dog’s tumor in his genital area, requiring him to undergo chemotherapy.
‘He’s doing very well. Excited, intelligent, very different from when he came here, ‘said Silva in an interview with the Brazilian online portal G1.

“He no longer has any bleeding and shows no signs of pain. He responded well to the first chemotherapy session and we will evaluate each new procedure to find out how many he will need … ‘
Silva opened his family’s home for his new friend while he recovers and travels with her to the clinic for his daily treatment.
The Vet Vet clinic received calls from residents interested in adopting him, but none visited him personally to complete the required adoption documents.
An online campaign to raise funds to cover dog care costs exceeded the clinic’s goal of $ 713.
