The Dog Cancer Survival Guide: Full Spectrum Treatments to Optimize Your Dog's Life Quality and Longevity
I am so sorry to hear this. I lost my first girl to osteosarcoma 5 years ago. Penny was my souls dog and she was diagnosed when she was 5. How old is your beautiful girl?
We found it quite early and initially did radiation and chemo. We had to amputate after about 1 month because she broke the leg (not uncommon with osteosarcoma but awful.) In retrospect I would go straight to amputation because she did so great after the leg was gone. It’s a really painful cancer, and about 2 weeks after the surgery she was running around like her old self because that pain was gone. 4 months after her initial diagnosis she tore the CCL in her remaining back leg. At the time, there was no evidence of mets but both the oncologist and the surgeon who did her amputation recommended we put her to sleep because she likely wouldn’t recover from the CCL surgery. I was completely devastated.
If I had to do it all over, the chemo and amputation were definitely worth it. She was an active, playful girl and truly thrived post amputation. I’m happy she had a few more months where she could enjoy herself.
I highly recommend this book. It really helped with our decision to say goodbye, and was a great primer on all things canine cancer.
I am so sorry you both have been dealt this shitty hand. I hate for any dog owner to have to go through it
Sending good vibes your way, and please keep us updated with her recovery.
I have an American Bulldog that has gone through several surgeries in the last couple years, and would be more than happy to chat if you have any questions or concerns with her progress. My wife and I have learned so much regarding mass cell tumors, having a general vet, holistic dr, and oncologist for our pup, and if we can help just shoot me a PM
A book that we keep on our night stand is The Dog Cancer Survival Guide, and its helped us understand what she's going through. Highly recommend
