Hi all it’s been a while since I have posted and in this current climate of fear and uncertainty I thought I’d share some lovely news on how Lila my 11 year old German shepherd is going! She was diagnosed with an osteosarcoma in early September 2019 and had her right leg removed. Her left hip has moderate arthritis but she is still tripping along well and runs and swims really strongly with three legs! She is loving life, she gets bone broth and rose hip vital as supplements and has a freeze dried meat dog food (ziwipeak). I’m amazed at how well she is going, beating odds of what really experienced vets including a surgical specialist predicted for her. For anyone worried about surgery and chemo, I just wanted share that with Lila it was the best decision.
Thanks so much for updating us on your RockStar Lila!!! It was also very kind of you to offer such encouragement to newbies! When a dog like Lila proves all the "peofessionals" wrong..... shhhh......we just love it!!!😎
YOU know Lila best! Statistics just cannot take in the individual dog, their persoality, the level of care and devotion of their hooman....just so many variables that can blow naysayers out of the water!!
Keep on rockin' Lila! HAPPY SEVEN MONTH AMPUVERSARY!!😁😁
Hugs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Wheeeee! This is terrific, thank you for the update I know we all needed that happy news! How awesome that she bounced back after surgery and chemo.
At 11 Lila isn't a puppy but she is definitely proving once again that age is just a number. Congratulations

Aww looks like a private account so non-approved people can't see the images here. I'm wondering if they'll show up here if you paste the image URL here in your Forum post?
