Esther the Wonder Pig is now Cancer free!
#1
Smile 
I just read the good news. In August Esther was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her people raised money for a large size cat scan machine so she could be diagnosed. The cat scanner is now at the vet college in Guelph where it can help other large animals.
Esther has had her cancer surgery and it has been a success.

www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/09/12/esther-the-wonder-pig-is-officially-cancer-free-which-is-good-because-it-wouldve-been-illegal-to-give-her-chemo.html

I am happy to hear that Esther is okay.  Her story has delighted us for years.

I am also surprized to learn that it is against the law to treat her with chemotherapy. Any animal considered a "food" animal cannot be given chemo drugs in Canada.

This is a law that Esther's people want to challenge. I wish them luck with that. If it works we have other laws that are a problem that could be challenged.
