This is Pablo. He came in this week with a huge growth on his tail. He’s been in a world of pain but today was the big day. We managed to get him booked in for an operation. It was risky because he is an older boy and very overweight but it was a success (1/7) 🧵
Pablo is a semi owned street dog. He’s close to 100 lbs and has been carrying this huge mass around for a year. We were all very nervous for him heading off to surgery but also hopeful we could change his life (2/7)
We found a vet willing to take it on. It was a three hour procedure and he was going to have to lose his tail for the greater good. There’s always a risk with operations so we’d prepared his people and ourselves for the worst (3/7)
But the good news is Pablo made it through the operation. It’s taken a lot out of him and he’ll need some time to recover in full but the vets couldn’t be happier (4/7)
I will say the hardest thing for us was getting him moved around 😅. There’s also a heatwave here at the moment which is insane so we have 4-5 fans on him at all times. He’s out of it still but doing well (5/7)
Pablo wouldn’t have survived much longer and he was in agony and very grumpy dragging that around in the heat. We clearly have to work on his weight next as I think everyone was feeding him out of pity. That can wait a couple of days as well spoil him for now (6/7)
Give him 48 hours and I think Pablo will be strutting around again with a new lease of life. Just an older street dog in Thailand but a creature who is full of hope for the rest of his life again instead of withering away in misery. Well done Pablo 🥰 (7/7)
@NiallHarbison Cindy Crawford has a walking buddy now! ❤️
@NiallHarbison He looked pretty pissed in that video lol
@NiallHarbison How old is he? He looks very old… hope he gets better soon!!! ❤️🙏
@NiallHarbison I am so happy for Pablo & his successful operation. I think he & Cindy Crawford should have a few dates arranged so that she can explain to him the finer points & wonderful results of a weight loss plan & regular exercise. 🐾🥰❤️😘🐾
@NiallHarbison Excellent work. All that horrible growth gone and much better health on the horizon.
@NiallHarbison Pablo is like "wait, wheres me tail gone man!?" What a beautiful face. Reminds me of Cindy, for obvious reasons!
@NiallHarbison Well done on making it through the surgery Pablo, rest & recover because your new life free of that mass begins now. Next to get you a bit trimmer!
@NiallHarbison Poor thing, it must have been very painful and heavy.
