Lucas Needs Us Now: Septicemia, Tumor, and Eye Removal Surgery Ahead

Lucas, a beautiful Golden Retriever, came to Stray Animal Foundation of India in truly heartbreaking condition. It’s hard to imagine how much he has endured. When he arrived, both of his eyes were severely infected, he had a visible tumor, and he was dangerously ill with septicemia and anemia — life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical intervention. Lucas was weak, in pain, and fighting for his life. Yet despite everything, he has shown nothing but gentle resilience, quietly accepting care and kindness from the team working to save him.

Right now, Lucas is receiving intensive veterinary treatment to stabilize him. His medical team is working urgently to treat the infection in his bloodstream, address his anemia, and improve his blood levels. These first steps are critical — his body must be strong enough before he can undergo the surgery he desperately needs.

Once Lucas is stable, he will require major surgery to remove the tumor and one of his infected eyes. This procedure will give him the best chance at a pain-free, healthy future. But it’s only possible if he continues to respond to treatment and if the funds are available to cover his ongoing care.

Lucas’s journey will include:

• Emergency treatment for septicemia
• Care to address severe anemia
• Medications for infection and pain
• Diagnostics and monitoring
• Surgery to remove the tumor
• Surgical removal of one damaged eye
• Post-operative recovery and follow-up care

As a dog without a family to advocate for him, Lucas is relying entirely on compassionate supporters to make his recovery possible. His medical needs are extensive, but his will to live is strong.

Every donation — no matter the size — helps give Lucas a chance to overcome these life-threatening conditions and finally live without pain.
