For many pets, getting sick or getting a scratch is no big deal since their owners do whatever they can to help them heal and get them whatever treatment necessary.

But for stray animals living on the streets with no access to doctors or clean living conditions, a small cut or minor illness can quickly become deadly. So when a team of rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimted in India heard about a dog with a huge mass on his neck, they knew they had to act fast and get him treatment.

Once rescuers found Mango, they gave him some food and then rushed him back to get immediate treatment. After running some tests, the team discovered the mass that looked like it was a tumor was actually an infected abscess.

The vet got to work draining the abscess and left a small tube through the incision point so that any other fluids could drain out after surgery. Because the abscess was so large, Mango was left with loose skin around his neck and the team feared the infection would return and fill up again.

However, just 15 days after surgery, Mango is completely healed, and the infection, which would have eventually killed him if left much longer, never returned.

Watch the entire video below to see Mango’s incredible recovery.
