QuoteYAY! Now we can all breathe a little easier!
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.

OfflineYes – you are right about the fentanyl patch. They put on a smaller one (50mcg) because she went a bit nutty after surgery when they had her on a high dose of IV fentanyl so they reduced it quickly. Plus she had a 100 mcg patch on last Sat and within hours i could see her going 'gaga' and so I took it off and she was coming back to earth by morning. So we hope she will tolerate the smaller one better.
Thanks again for staying with us thru this unexpected journey

You've got a pawesome vet team who obviously places a high priority on pain management. Who are the docs? We would LOVE to see if they'd like to talk about this subject on Tripawd Talk Radio!

OfflineThe surgeon is Lisa Alexander from VCA Animal Care Center, Rohnert Park, CA. 707 584 4343
She is really generous with her time and super sweet with her patients and their pawrents. (And a fabulous Surgeon!)
I highly recommend her! ( And I'm pretty choosy ;)

OfflineWell fellow pawrents and pups,
We just got 'that' phone call from the surgeon about the pathology report. Unfortunatley our Lylee does have osteosarcoma and it is a highly aggressive one :(( 
We are still assimilating the news and so are deep shock. We were really hoping for no cancer as the previous tests were so inconclusive.
It was good we amputated sooner rather than later.
Ugh – why does cancer exist at all!!!!!!

OfflineSo sorry to hear of the diagnosis. In our heads we "know" what the outcome will be but in our hearts we always hold out hope for the best. Take a deep breath. And give your girl a hug.
