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
This was so very sweet of you. Thank you!

Sally - beautiful tribute to our angels of the Tripawd Community, and their brave "pawrents", that serve as examples to all of us that are battling this battle. Not a day goes by without an example of courage, resilience, and love.

Our awesome Golden Boy was diagnosed for OSA in April 2014 in the proximal humerus, front-leg amp on 05/20/2014. Finished chemo (Carbo6) on 07/10/2014. Ongoing treatment: acupuncture + K-9 Immunity Plus ( 3chews) and home-cooked no-grain diet. Stopped Apocaps because of liver issues. Liver issues: controlling altered enzymes with SAM-e and Milk Thistle. October 17: started having seizures. Taking fenobarbital for seizures. April 18: started prednisone.
That's so beautiful. Thank you so much for honoring Peace and all our other furry friends that have gone on. You are a really special soul, Sally!

Awww, Sally... Thanks for the lovely tribute to our August and September angels. I take so much comfort picturing them playing together and knowing that they were welcomed by Happy Hannah, Jake. Shelby, Polly, Ty and so many others.
(((Big Hugs!!!)))
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.
