Hi, just found out, my greyhound, who had her left front leg amputated 6 months ago, has bone cancer in her right front shoulder, starting radiation today, breaking my heart, any advice how to handle this
Oh Julieann,
I'm so sorry that you and your beloved greyhound are dealing with cancer in her remaining front leg area. I'm sorry I don't have any advice to share but I did want you to know that I will be keeping you and your fur baby in my thoughts and prayers.

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
I also don't have any advice, just support, thoughts and prayers for you and your pup. This stupid cancer is a nasty beast! Hugs from, Lori and Ty
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Hi Julieann, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grey. Where is she being treated and what is the treatment plan? It sounds to me like this would be the best way to go in this situation.
Tell us more about your girl, how old/young is she? What's she like? How is she getting around on 3 otherwise?
P.S. your future posts won't require approval so post away.

*#!*#$#! Rotten stinkn' piece of crap disease!!!!
Okay....take a deep.breath...B R E A T H E.......
Do the vets have an additional treatment plan laid out for her...metronomics perhaps in addition to radiation?
Stay connected to us, okay? You don't need to go this journey alone! Stay str o ng! There is hope!
Also, there is a Greyhound Club based out of Fredericksburg,.Virginia thst could maybe offer insight. Some k ne with more com o uter savvy can perhaps give you a link.
ALSO...and again, others will jave to help o ut on this........but didn't we just have a blog...or a.post.....from someone whose dog was celebrating many, many months of living with osteo WITHOUT...WITHOUT AMPUTATION????? It seems to me she did NO treatment and the dog is still doing good!!!
Sending love, lots of.it
