First day of underwater treadmill training today. We drove 30 min each way for 4 minutes of work, but I think it will be helpful. It whooped him! Or he whooped it, I'm not really sure. Overall he is up more, wagging his tail more, walking around the house more, and sleeping less.

So cute! He looks awesome having his therapy. Glad to hear about the tail wagging and the other good news. Not good to hear about the new lump, but fingers crossed that it is a benign fatty lump! Commencing the Tripawds B9 B9 B9 chant!
Keep us posted.
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Oh! How adorable! Glad to hear Zep is doing getting the groove of water treading!
Here's hoping the tumor is a unimportant lipoma!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She 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.

Looking good Zep!! Keep it up!
I'm also voting for a fatty lump! We're sending positive thoughts your way!!
And the verdict is... Lipoma. Also bloodwork came back good from CBC, except for slightly low platelets, but is tolerating the chemo well....

Yeh! The B9 chant worked. Wonderful news.
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/

That is wonderful news! Good luck with the chemo.

Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

Yaaaaaay! So glad to hear it was a fatty tumor! It's so good to be vigilant but after a cancer diagnosis, it can give you a heart attack! Nice work though. Give him smooches from us.
