Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Hi everyone!! I wanted to give you all an update.. So here it is almost 2 and 1/2 weeks since we received the news about the cancer moving to Charlie's lungs. Well he's still very much with us, acting like the crazy puppy he is. It seems that the Prednisone and Trimidal seem to be helping him. We had to contact the vet to get move of the medicine, and they could not believe he was still around. He's really our miracle pup. He's going to be getting Extra Turkey on Thursday 🙂

I'm very happy for you. Lots to be extra thankful for this year. Enjoy each and every extra day you get!

Active 10+ Pyr mix suddenly came up lame with ACL tear in left rear leg. Scheduled for a TPLO but final pre-op x-rays indicated a small suspicious area, possibly OSA, which could have caused the ACL tear. Surgeon opened the knee for TPLO but found soft bone. Biopsy came back positive for OSA. Became a Tripawd 9/18/14. Carbo6 with Cerenia and Fluids. Pain free and living in the moment. Crossed the Bridge on 7/12/15 after probable spread of cancer to her cervical spine. A whole lifetime of memories squeezed into 10 months. Here's her story: Eloise
