QuoteI am so very sorry to hear this news about sweet Fergus. It seems unimaginable that this horrible disease can occur in another leg so soon. My heart aches for you. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

OfflineI am so, so sorry to hear this awful news. My Sadie also got osteo in another leg, but it was 8 months post amp/chemo, so at least I got to see her fully recovered from the amp at least. It is such shocking news, you try to prepare for future issues like lung mets, but this is like a "sucker punch" to the gut. My heart hurts for you, but I hope that being together to share the love you all have for Fergus will also help you to heal.

OfflineOh, this is so heart-breaking. I'm just so incredibly sorry about Fergus. We'll be thinking of you during this very sad time.
Comet - 1999 to 2011She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
So sorry to read of Fergus diagnosis. I hope knowing you did all you could for him will bring you a sense of comfort. Unfortunately this crap is ruthless, but it can't take away the memories or beat the strength family has, I'm glad you can all be together, our thoughts are with you guys , Spirit Gus and Dan

Can only say how sorry I am that you are facing this. The decisions are so difficult, and you never know for sure your timing is right. Listen to your heart and to Fergus.

I am so sorry to hear about your big boy! This disease is just not fair. I'm not sure how far you want to go with things but you can ask your vet about pamidronate injections that can help strengthen the bone and relieve pain.

OfflineTara,
We are in the same boat, soon we will have to make the decision for our sweet Tate. My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope tomorrow is truly a day of Thanksgiving for you. Despite the sorrow, I know we have much to be thankful for and this site and the friends we have here is one big thing. Our friends here understand our heartbreak.

OfflineI am so sorry, this is the worst part of the disease. We send our prayers of peace to you and Fergus, and hopes that you have the best time with the time you have left. I lost my girl this past summer, and I tried to do all the things she loved to do, but I forgot one. It still bothers me that I forgot to do the other thing for her before she left. So I tell you to write everything he loves down, and check them off. It helps when you are trying for the perfect day to make sure you get all of the favorite's done.
You are in our thoughts,
Elizabeth and Sammy

Just wanted to send lots of positive thoughts and prayers to Fergus. Make lots of memories, take even more pictures (make sure that you are in them), and spoil him completely rotten.

We are so desperately sad to hear this about Fergus. Having lost our Tripawd Wolfie a few weeks ago we did feel a real kinship to see another braving the Tripawd path and to read this so soon seems so horribly unfair.
Thinking of you all
