Great news, 2nd biopsy of Zeus' leg came back with Fibrosarcoma! Pathologist stated margins are clean and Im so happy! He seems to be doing real well. He had a setback on Tuesday when he went back to hospital to place a catheter for no urine output. He was there for 3 days but has bounced back unbelievably quick. Insicion looks great, no more drainage. Hes up and about, goes outside unassisted now and can even get on the couch no problem. Pain meds were reduced too. Thank you all for the positive feedback you have given, it made a bug difference!
Love Deb, Zeus and Belle

Really happy for your good news (fibrosarcoma) and that Zeus has bounced back. It never ceases to amaze me what our pups are capable of if we let them!

Active 10+ Pyr mix suddenly came up lame with ACL tear in left rear leg. Scheduled for a TPLO but final pre-op x-rays indicated a small suspicious area, possibly OSA, which could have caused the ACL tear. Surgeon opened the knee for TPLO but found soft bone. Biopsy came back positive for OSA. Became a Tripawd 9/18/14. Carbo6 with Cerenia and Fluids. Pain free and living in the moment. Crossed the Bridge on 7/12/15 after probable spread of cancer to her cervical spine. A whole lifetime of memories squeezed into 10 months. Here's her story: Eloise
