Vet practises on 3D model of Molly the puppy's jaw before eight-hour operation to remove huge tumour
A puppy has had a cricket ball-sized tumour removed after an eight-hour operation so demanding that the vet practised on a 3D model of her jaw beforehand. Molly, a four-year-old Caucasian Shepherd dog, had her life saved after the cancerous growth, which made her face swell to twice its size, was found bulging under her left eye. Owner Jo Fergurson became concerned for her pooch's life last year and took her to Wear Referrals, in Bradbury, County Durham. CT scans revealed the giant tumour - which was bigger than a man's fist - was growing from her jaw and putting pressure on her brain.
