After his previous owners ignored his massive salivary tumor for an astonishing six years, a beautiful dog is finally receiving veterinary care. According to the Long Way Home rescue group, Jake was loved by his former family, but they didn’t take him to the doctor when his face began to swell.

“Jake has been living with a salivary tumor for six years, according to his owners, which they believe was caused by a snake bite.” He was raised as an indoor dog, is incredibly well-behaved, is toilet trained, gets along well with other dogs, and can even wag.” “According to the organization.”

After Jake was discovered wandering in a remote area of Texas last week, the Cribs for Canines team began working to convince his family to give possession so Jake could get the veterinary treatment he needs. Jake is receiving treatment in Waco and already feels great relief after draining a large amount of fluid. According to the organization.

We are grateful to the wonderful staff at Texas Animal Medical Center in Waco, where Dr. Leid and his colleagues were treating Jake and draining 1,200 cc of saliva from his neck. (Look at the last two shots to see how much of a difference it made!)

“For the first time in six years, Jake has been able to turn his head. It’s been so easy! He’s eating and pooing properly, he’s in good spirits, and overall he seems to be doing well.” According to the agency

There are no guarantees that Jake will make a full recovery, but dedicated people are working tirelessly to give him the best chance possible.
