šŸ When our Veterinary Medicine team noticed a small mass on a Florida kingsnake's face during routine care, they jumped into action. A biopsy identified the mass as a melanophoroma, and CT imaging confirmed the cancer hadn't spread. Because of the tumor's location near the jaw, surgery would have been difficult without removing part of it, so our team partnered with CSU veterinary experts to pursue radiation therapy instead. Cancer treatment in snakes is still a relatively new frontier in veterinary medicine, which means cases like this one help advance care for reptiles everywhere. We're thrilled to report that radiation treatment has been completed, the mass was caught early, and our little guy is being closely monitored. During #NationalZooAndAquariumMonth, this story is a beautiful reminder of what's possible when organizations come together for animals of all kinds. Thank you, csuvethealth, for being such an incredible partner in animal care. šŸ“ø Photo credit: CSU Veterina...
