South Bosque Veterinary Clinic
Scooter came into our clinic in November 2009 because he was not eating,
unable to walk and shaking all over. Due to Scooter’s age, his owners thought
it might be arthritis or just old age. Dr. Hudspeth had a feeling it was a lot
more and started running several tests. Blood results reported he had severely
elevated calcium levels in his blood, due to cancer in one of his four parathyroid
glands. With this devastating news, his owner went above and beyond and
decided to have the tumor removed by Dr. Kahil in Copperos Cove. Once the
cancer was removed, Scooter was hospitalized multiple times over the following
three months for seizures due to his low calcium levels. We continued to wait
for his other three parathyroid glands to turn back on from being suppressed by
his cancer. Finally, his body was once again able to regulate his calcium levels
and he is cured of his cancer to this day! Scooter has returned to his old happy
self and we are happy to see his wagging tail around our clinic . S.B.V.C. would
like to honor Scooter for his bravery and his owners for their unconditional love.
