Gabrielle’s Medical History
Gabrielle came to our hospital facing multiple health challenges. His medical history included:
- Pancreatitis
- A heart murmur
- And a large lump located on his lower back (lumbar area)
Despite all of this, Gabrielle remained calm, resilient, and full of spirit—earning the affectionate nickname, “Our Trooper.”
A Step-by-Step Approach
Given Gabrielle’s complex health background, Dr. Behl and our veterinary team worked closely with his dedicated owners to carefully address each issue. At Yorkson Creek Veterinary Hospital we focused on stabilizing his overall health before tackling the biggest physical concern: the large lumbar mass.
After thorough examination, diagnostics, and consideration of Gabrielle’s heart condition, the decision was made to proceed with lumpectomy surgery. The primary goal was to relieve Gabrielle of the physical burden and discomfort caused by the mass, which was affecting his mobility and quality of life.
Surgical Success
Gabrielle underwent surgery under close monitoring. The lumpectomy was successful, and the mass was removed without complication. Dr. Behl and our team provided tailored post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery, paying special attention to pain management and cardiac support.
A Happy Outcome
Since surgery, Gabrielle has made an excellent recovery. He is more comfortable, more mobile and showing signs of increased energy and joy. His transformation has been heartwarming to witness. We are thrilled to share before-and-after photos from Gabrielle’s journey—a visual testament to the strength and spirit of this incredible patient.
