~ Kayne ~

We want to introduce you to Kayne.  It's hard to believe this young man is a Scottish Terrier.

The above photograph was taken on March 3, 2008.  Kayne had just been rescued from a shelter and was in obvious discomfort from his inflamed skin, open bleeding sores, eye infections, ear infections, intestinal parasites (hence the bloating of his belly) and an open bleeding tumor behind his left ear. 

While in his foster home (out of state), Kayne's skin began to improve, yet other problems began to appear.  The tumor behind his left ear continued to cause him discomfort, and his foster mom began noticing three others, one on his leg, another near his lower eye lid, and a third on the inside of the base of his tail.  At this point, we made the decision to transfer Kayne to Dallas, in case we needed to take him to any of our wonderful Veterinary Specialists that are available here.

After arriving, Kayne was rushed to our Vet for a physical exam, additional blood tests, skin scrapings, and fecal testing.  Once he has calmed down from his long journey, Kayne has been scheduled for surgery to remove at least three of the tumors on his body.  They will be sent out for analysis by a veterinary pathologist to see if any of them contain cancer cells.

We will update Kayne's page as more information is available.

We expended $306.51 for Kayne's first Vet visit, and another $196.00 to transport him to Dallas.

If you are able to help us with the high costs of his continuing care, Kayne would be so appreciative!

Thank you for caring!
