Delia


Isn't she awesome? Delia is a beautiful 10-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who was very sick with a bleeding splenic tumor this past December. Emergency surgery fixed the immediate problem, but now she has a mass growing in her heart. We get to see her... She has to come in for periodic rechecks to monitor the cardiac mass. That means Delia has batted for the cycle, having seen all four of our services (Emergency, Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Radiology)!

Delia is a fantastic girl, and we enjoy seeing her. It's always a mixed emotion though; we love the patients, but we wish they didn't have to come see us so often!

  1. she is gorgeous and so lucky to have amber as her mom and dave as her dad. i wish everyone would take as great care of their dog as they do. let's get a Paws Prayer going around for Delia, that she will be here w/ her family for as long as possible while being as comfortable as possible. T pets thank you for the care you are giving Miss Delia.
