Texas A&M University veterinarians\u00a0collaborate to successfully operate on a \u201cdouble doodle\u201d with a rare tumor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Andrea Streicher saw the photos of the curly-haired, golden puppies a friend had sent her, it was love at first sight. Her day had started off with a series of unfortunate events\u2014including a flat tire\u2014but there in front of her was the antidote to all her doldrums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Werner, a \u201cdouble doodle\u201d with Goldendoodle and Labradoodle parents, immediately joined the Streicher household and proved himself to be a happy, social, and active dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He could often be found running around a dog park in their hometown of Austin, donning silly costumes or funky bandannas that matched his personality. Because of Werner\u2019s excellent demeanor with children, Streicher aspired to train him as a therapy dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We dyed his ears blue for his first birthday, and I noticed when his ears were blue that little kids were so drawn to him,\u201d Streicher said. \u201cWe now keep his ears blue, so that when he goes to schools to help with readings and stuff, the kids will still be drawn to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Disheartening Diagnosis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At just around 2 years of age, Werner started becoming lethargic and depressed and began having seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerned, Streicher took him in to her local veterinarian, where they found that Werner had a huge, rapidly growing skull tumor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we first started having problems, the tumor was probably the size of my thumbnail. It was like a grape,\u201d Streicher recalled. \u201cThree weeks later, it was almost the size of an egg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streicher met with several veterinarians who told her they had never seen such an aggressive tumor in such a young dog and they feared his tumor would be inoperable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the diagnosis came as a shock for Streicher and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe waited 24 hours until I could talk with the neurologist, and she basically said that it was huge,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was super invasive. She said our main objective should be to keep Werner comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the grim prognosis, Streicher wasn\u2019t about to give up on Werner, so she decided to take him to Texas A&M\u2019s Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought he wasn\u2019t going to survive, and if I lost him, I wanted his body to go to the veterinary students at Texas A&M so that they could study him and learn from his disease,\u201d Streicher recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There, the VMTH team swiftly admitted Werner for a CT scan and confirmed the tumor took up a significant portion of his skull and was compressing his brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the veterinary team spent some time analyzing Werner\u2019s case, they gave Streicher some news she didn\u2019t anticipate: They would be able to operate and attempt to remove the tumor. Werner would likely lose an eye and there was no guarantee of a successful surgery, but the doctors were confident they could give Werner\u2019s case a shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step before surgery was to perform a bone biopsy to confirm the specific type of cancer Werner was suspected to have. After about two weeks of waiting, the biopsy results returned and confirmed that Werner’s tumor was a multilobular tumor of bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multilobular tumors are rare, and there are no known predispositions to this particular type of cancer. The tumors typically occur on flat bones, and in canines, the skull is the most common area they arise. Surgical removal of these tumors is tricky, and it is often impossible to remove the tumors from the skull with clean margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborating To Cure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"People

On Oct. 10, 2018, when Werner checked in for his surgery, the VMTH neurology and oncology teams had come up with an innovative solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the amount of skull Werner would lose in the operation, his clinicians would need to find a way to rebuild his skull from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Michael Deveau<\/a>, a clinical assistant professor in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) and holder of the Katherine and Rebecca Rochelle Chair in Oncology, reviewed CT scans of healthy dogs to generate a new skull piece that would replace the excised portion of bone. He collaborated with Dr. Elizabeth Scallan<\/a>, in the Clinical Skills Laboratory, to make a 3D print of the skull replacement pieces and to engineer a mold that could be used in the operating room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During surgery, Dr. Joseph Mankin<\/a>, a clinical associate professor in the neurology service, and Dr. Maya Krasnow, a second-year resident in neurology, filled the mold with a material called poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), a type of shatter-resistant plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PMMA hardened in minutes, and readily created Werner\u2019s new skull. Beside them, Dr. Brandon Wustefeld-Janssens, one of the VMTH\u2019s veterinary surgical oncologists, removed Werner\u2019s right eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his eight-hour surgery, Werner faced a long recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first night was rough,\u201d Streicher remembered. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie\u2014I wondered if I did the right thing, if I kept him here for me or if I kept him here because it was the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after several nights of sleeping by Werner\u2019s side at home, things started to look up. Werner\u2019s original, playful attitude started to shine through again, so much so that he had to return to the VMTH mid-recovery to have more stitches placed around his incision areas for security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI literally had to hide all the toys, because we wouldn\u2019t throw them to him, so he would throw the toys himself,\u201d Streicher said with a laugh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Werner\u2019s team is equally impressed with his recovery and credit collaboration for the success of his operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen a client comes to an academic institution like the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, they\u2019re typically coming because we offer strengths that other practices may not be able to provide,\u201d Deveau said. \u201cWe should be able to do things that nobody else can do, and if there isn\u2019t an easily apparent way to do something, then we can pool our resources, put our heads together, and have an outcome that may benefit patients like Werner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streicher hopes to have Werner certified as a therapy dog to help comfort children undergoing cancer treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is just amazing,\u201d Streicher said. \u201cThe fact that he\u2019s still here is just a miracle. He is Werner the Wonder Dog.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Streicher family is extremely grateful for the efforts made by the VMTH team to save Werner\u2019s life. Specifically, Streicher said she credits Texas A&M with \u201ctaking the chance.\u201d For that, she says she will always recommend the VMTH for quality veterinary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you need any care that goes above and beyond, just go to Texas A&M. Just do it. You won\u2019t be sorry,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of February, Streicher brought Werner back to College Station, but as a guest of honor instead of a patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Werner\u2019s story was showcased as one of four exhibits at the Texas A&M Foundation\u2019s Exploration Day, which provided immersive experiences for top university donors from disciplines across campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Werner appeared on stage as the grand finale of the college\u2019s exhibit and received a standing ovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a tribute to the team that saved his life, Werner wore a 12th Man jersey, while his famous blue ears were dyed maroon to honor the Aggies who never gave up on saving his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
