At this start of the holiday season, give them the very best present:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/en\/2x\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>make a donation that will be doubled.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment for Yama, day in and day out <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This sweet little dog came to the shelter because, sadly, his guardian could not afford veterinary care.&nbsp;<strong>We took him in to treat the mass and swelling that was causing him so much pain.<\/strong>&nbsp;Since it was large and very firm, we biopsied to make sure it wasn\u2019t a tumour. Fortunately, the lab test came back negative, suggesting a bacterial infection instead. But the abscess\u20149 cm long, 5 cm wide and 4 cm thick\u2014<strong>required daily attention<\/strong>. Luckily, Yama is a very gentle dog who loves cuddles and human contact. This makes his treatment much easier!<br>&nbsp;<br>With hydrotherapy and antibiotics, his abscess shrank and so, a few days ago,&nbsp;<strong>Yama was placed with a loving foster family, who will watch over him<\/strong>&nbsp;and offer him a loving home for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Montreal SPCA depends mainly on donations from the public to take in and care for hundreds of animals each month.
