K9 Clyde battling cancer

On November 5, 2019 K9 Clyde was brought to the Gardner Animal Care Center to be examined due to some swelling in his lymph nodes. The great veterinary team at GACC determined it was best to do a cytology exam of the swollen lymph nodes to determine what was causing the swelling. On November 7, 2019 Dr. Miller from GACC informed Officer Wironen the swelling of K9 Clyde’s Lymph nodes was due to Lymphoma. Dr. Miller referred K9 Clyde to an Oncologist for a consult to determine the best care for K9 Clyde.

K9 Clyde was brought to the Animal Cancer Care Specialists in Westford MA, part of the Westford Emergency Veterinary Care Center. Dr. Erin Romansik provided a thorough consultation with Officer Wironen and K9 Clyde and determined that the best treatment option for K9 Clyde was to immediately start Chemotherapy. Fortunately, Chemo for canines does not typically present side effects as it does with humans. Only 10% of canines will experience the side effects of Chemo such as hair loss, nausea or fatigue.

Chemotherapy can be expensive. Thankfully, we have received tremendous support through donations from the residents of Winchendon and various organizations such as the Lions Club and the Robinson Broadhurst Foundation. With these donations and grants we currently have insurance for K9 Clyde. The insurance will cover a portion of the treatment with the remaining balance being paid for by donations.

K9 Clyde will be able to continue doing what he loves most, serving the town of Winchendon while he is being treated. Any donations are appreciated and can be made out to the Winchendon Police Department K9 Fund.

Updates on Clyde’s treatment and progress will be released as information is received from Dr. Romansik.
