  • Subtitles section
  • It's been three weeks since Charo, the lab mix, was put on antibiotics while vets try to diagnose her persistent cough.
  • Since then, an ultrasound has revealed the situation is urgent.
  • So with the ultrasound on Charo, we did find what looked to be a solid mass.
  • It didn't appear to be like a twisted lung lobe or an area of infection.
  • So we did aspirate it, and it came back as likely cancer.
  • It wasn't definitive, but likely.
  • Without knowing for sure what the growth is, Dr. Mike decides that surgery is the best option.
  • But since the original diagnosis was potentially cancer, I would hate for her to continue to suffer with hard time breathing and coughing if it were something different.
  • We figured we either had to sink or swim.
  • Dr. Mike will perform a risky lung surgery on Charo that he's never done before.
  • But it is Charo's only chance at a good quality of life.
  • For us, it's a very uncommon procedure.
  • It's the first one we've done here since I've been here.
  • It'll probably be pretty difficult.
  • He'll Open up Charo's chest cavity and remove the middle lung lobe before sending it to a lab for diagnosis.
  • The thoracotomy, or opening up her chest, that surgery in theory could be relatively simple on paper.
  • And how the books describe it, it's very easy.
  • But when you go in there, there's always surprises.
  • Sponge.
  • Yeah.
  • With such a challenging surgery ahead, Dr. Patti Iampietro will be on standby in the operating room to assist Dr. Mike in case of an emergency.
  • You ready?
  • You ready.
  • Ready as I'm gonna be.
  • All right, we're about to go into the internals.
  • Okay, so now, once he opens that chest, the dog will no longer breathe on her own, so I want you to breathe 10 times per minute.
  • Once Dr. Mike gets past the rib cage, he will get his first look at the growth in Charo's chest.
  • There's the heart.
  • This Might be a heart-based tumor.
  • If the tumor is growing out of Charo's heart, it will be almost impossible to remove without killing her.
  • Hey, Patti?
  • Yeah?
  • Do you want to get some gloves on and feel this?
  • How You feeling there, Dr. Patti?
  • Tell me what you think of that.
  • It's gonna be really hard.
  • It's also stuck to that other lung wall.
  • Yeah.
  • It looks really bad.
  • I don't think we can do it.
  • At this point, I was either going to euthanize her or what I did in surgery would have killed her.
  • But since somebody else agreed that it would be difficult, I was like, I have nothing to lose by proceeding.
  • And so I just kept pushing away at it.
  • To remove the growth, Dr. Mike will have to maneuver around major veins that carry blood to Charo's constantly beating heart.
  • We had to dissect away a lot.
  • We had to remove part of the sac around her heart.
  • We had to dissect it away from some major arteries and veins, which was also very scary.
  • Fortunately, Dr. Mike makes an encouraging discovery.
  • So it's not attached to the heart.
  • That's good news.
  • The mass, whatever it might be, is kind of adhered to the sac around the heart.
  • So we're trying to slowly dissect away to find out where we can actually remove it from.
