Thanks everyone - sorry I thought that you did not deliver to the UK through Tripawds gear.

We recently had to make the very tough decision of Amputation or putting our beautiful dog to sleep.

Bubbles is our 10.5 year old Rottweiler - she is the best friend an owner could have, over the years she has had her struggles with

Arthritis all over and a cruciate ligament op on her back leg at the age of 6. Then last week we got the devastating news that she had Osteosarcoma on her left front leg - our local vets gave us the only option of putting her to sleep (to due age and her other conditions) - which we did not feel she was ready for, we wanted to give her a chance at life before ending her life too soon. So we got a second opinion they were happy to amputate as long as there was no spreading elsewhere (luckily there was not visible signs) but we had to act quickly as she was not in a good way with the awful pain the cancer was causing, after wondering if we are making the correct decision we went with amputation as she was in so much pain, our only concerns were related her Arthritis and if she would cope on her remaining 3 legs, the op went well and also her recovery seems okay so far - although she is not so good on the pain meds, next week we get the staples removed and start Physio and Hydro with her to help build up her legs to make sure she can cope - I really hope she will be okay. She seems to just be getting on with it and I am so proud of how brave she has been through all of this, she is definitely a fighter, I just want to make sure she has the best time with us as possible and as pain free as she can be.

I have been given so much inspiration from Tripawds it has really helped me understand and come to terms with this awful path our beautiful Bubbles has been given. We are ready to fight it with her all the way.

Thank you very much - I will get some images added of Bubbles soon - This forum is such a great help!
