Hi and welcome. I'm in the Tripawds Chat room right now if you want to talk. 

To answer your question, YES we have had many members beat those osteosarcoma odds at a young age. There are lots in our Tripawds Member blogs, and right now the first one who comes to mind is Bart the Vizsla. Of course there are many more but it's the end of the day and I'm kinda brain farting 😉 Scroll through the blogs directory, do a search for "young dog" or something to that effect and you'll come across their stories.

I know the prognosis is depressing no matter what the age of the dog, but try not to focus on that right now. All animals are different. That study doesn't factor in YOUR dog and his/her specific health history. We have seen many animals throw cancer a curveball and defy those prognoses. It doesn't always work that way, but it certainly can and that's what you need to keep in your heart as you start this journey.

In the meantime, tell us more about your pup! Boy? Girl? Have you had amputation done yet? Do tell, we'd love to be a place for you to lean on.
