Tripawds Three Legged Dog & Cat Forum Archives

Jerry, he was just resting in the living room and went gently to the water bowl. Once there I heard a yelp and he came back pretty quick. He didn't seemed affected like the previous times and was wagging his tail right away when I started talking to him. He seems totally fine today.

Then  he had another one 30 minutes later. I phoned the vet right away since I haven't heard from him and he's still in an appointment. They said that it was not urgent so they will not pull him out of his consult, that he will call me back. I agree it's not an emergency but I'm worried sick...  I hope Hank won't have another neuroma today.

Update Jan 10.

I can't believe it's been a month since the last update.  Hank is doing well. He still have some neuromas but they are very mild compare to before. I have good hope that they are going to resume. He's also off his meds since a week now and doing great. Seems like they were slowing him down. He's able to eat his kibbles without a mix of cottage cheese and whatnot. He's basically back to his old self with the difference that he's now hopping. He's doing monkey things I didn't thought he could do with his 3 legs. He can still mark on 2 legs but he usually squat. He can also do a full flight of stairs up and down like it's no body's business and can even turn mid way going down and get back up. He can still take a walk and drag his nose under the snow while in motion. He can still push his brothers out of his way. And he can get on the couch even if a table have been put in front for him to not go. That's quite the monkey dog!

Just today I took all the dogs for a walk (about 30 mins) and Hank was happy to be out there in the elements. He pooped quite a bit (good!) and now he's tired and sleeping. 

Treatment wise. I started my application for a grant for the  chemo treatments. I'm also in the process to book an appointment to see the oncologist for an assessment. Hopefully this will happen in the next 10 days or so. I also got in touch with our Holistic vet clinic to see if they could help with some treatments after all the stuff his done. They said they had herbs and immunity booster on top of treatment. I will have to go for a consult with him too.

So much going on but at least the Hankster his doing great. If all is kept that way we are doing a surprise visit at the hospital this w-e to see the staff and the patients and our team members. I can't wait because I know how Hank loves this job.
