Nope. Could the setting be private instead of public? Then again, I have no clue what I'm talking about!
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!
Yes I went in and checked and it was marked private. It should now be public.
Wheee! You did it!
How wonderful to see him getting around, he's doing pretty good! I just had to add it to our "Tripawds Before and After Surgery video collection."
Be sure to watch for signs of a seroma , which tend to occur in dogs who are moving around too much after surgery, especially front leg amputees. Leashed potty walks can help prevent this icky (but not usually serious) side-effect of amputation.

Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
OOOOOMMMMDDDDDD!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! This looks more like TWO WEEKS after surgery.....not TWO DAYS!!!! 
OUTSTANDING!!! And yes, a very inspirational video that offers tons of reassurance for any newbies!
SLOOOOW AND EASY THOUGH, OKAY? He's still got some hospital meds in him, so you might see a little less activity over the next several days....but more rest is a good thing during early recovery.
Way to rock three Sebastian!

Hello! I know it has been a while, we have had a lot going on. Sebastian is doing very well. I am finally seeing the old Sebastian come back 🙂 It has taken a while and there has been a lot of self doubt about whether we did the right thing but it is all gone now. Here is a video of him playing frisbee and tug a war with our other dog.
Worthwhile indeed!!! It's updates like this, videos like this, that keeps us all going with hope in our hearts!
This was so much fun to watch....yeah...watched it twice just so I could keep smiling for a bit longer!!😁
Anyone with any doubts about Tripawds enjoying life on three needs to watch Sebastian enjoying life to the fullest! Love seeing how happy his little buddy is being able to play with Sebastian again😎

YESSS! Oh what a happy boy! He's got his friends, his toys, happy people, what else does a dog need? Congratulations!
Thank you so much for the pupdate, I'm so happy to see this. Don't be a stranger and keep us posted in a topic like "Shout Outs" or similar. Give Sebastian a big smooch from us.
