Sorry to hear about your Beau. Thanks for the comment, but you will really find much more advice and support in the discussion forums. Do a search for radiation or chemotherapy and you will find plenty of existing topics. Or start a new one to share your story. Best wishes!

I have a 9 3/4 year old Rottie. His mom had a tumor on her shoulder and died 2 years ago this July. My Beauregard possibly has a tumor on his left wrist. My Vet said it could possibly be a airborne fungal infection. Blood and urine are being sent out to check to make sure. I hope & pray that is what it is. If it is cancer, I was just wondering if anyone has had chemo or radiation done on their dog. What are the t and the cancer came up so sudden and she died within ide effects. I couldn’t do it with Velvet as her cancer was to far gone before we found out, and she lived for another 2 months.
I have had stem cell done on Beau and he still has cells at the stem cell bank in CA I also laser him 2 x’s a day now. His lungs some to be clear except for a few small spots but she said she doesn’t think they look cancerous. I know he is up in years and I DON’T want anything to happen to him. We also have his brother, they are litter mates.
If anyone can give me some ideas about chemo & radiation I would appreciate it. If it does turn out to be cancer (yuk) I am also considering having his leg amputated and in hopes he will live longer. His mom was 13 1/2 when she passed and his dad was almot 14 and he passed from old age. Thanks for your time

thanks for sharing…..a favorite poem of mine…sorry if you’ve all read it before….

Loved you Best

So this is where we part my Friend, and you’ll run on, around the bend.
Gone from sight, but not from mind, new pleasures there you’ll surely find.
I will go on, I’ll find the strength, life measures quality, not it’s length.
One long embrace before you leave, share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true, but they be they and they aren’t you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought, Will remember well all you’ve taught.
Your place I’ll hold, you will be missed, the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest, take this with you… I loved you best.

Maggie, you’re so welcome, glad you like it. You know, there are soooo many things about taking precautions for Tripawds that we didn’t know until we met these docs. Who knew that letting them run wild for hours on end at a dog park was a bad thing? Wow! We love doing these movies, because we learn tons in the process.

Bravo on another excellent video and questions answered!

Thank you Tripawd team for this! Makes me feel better to hear their comments like “they are going to get more sore” and don’t let them do what they could do when they had four legs..
