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 :-)
Hi Jackie,
Yes I am pleased with her recovery. Such a relief that she is well on the way to figuring how to make the most of the three legs.. Kinda surprised that I haven't got the biopsy results yet so I shall call today but part of me is, ya know, hoping for a miracle like perhaps it is some lesser form of cancer or something but I must prepare myself for whatever comes our way.
I am going to e mail you some Pics today Jackie and choose one to upload for me if you would be so kind.
Much LOVE to the tri-pawd community.
There was a man picking up his baby yesterday from surgery and he was asking me about recovery and I advised him to PLEASE get on the Tri Pawd site and you will find it ever so helpful.
No problem Doug, I will go check my email at lunch. Don't be surprised if the results are not in. Can take up to 2 weeks, hopefully not tho

I wanted something to just keep a little protection until staples come out. My tee shirts were to big and would catch her back legs so tried cutting them short but then the necks would stretch also and go too low so I went to target and bought a toddler shirt. It was a little tight around the good armpit so I made a cut with scissors and now it’s perfect.
only has to last until monday
I know you have a lot on your mind Doug, but don't forget to log in 
Even though I have 'remember me' marked I do get logged out every now and then and have to log back in.
How does Cookie tolerate the shirt? She doesn't look thrilled in the picture. TriPug Maggie HATED anything around her chest so wouldn't wear shirts. Not important for her amp as it was a rear leg, but about 6 months earlier she had a tumor removed from her side with a huge incision. I couldn't keep a shirt on her and sure enough she pulled a couple stitches out with her back leg.
She is doing so well!

Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.
1999 to 2010
It’s just not a very good picture
she doesn’t mind it at all. It’s way more comfy than the tight thick mummy wrap she had to wear for 10 days
that was really uncomfortable
ill send Jackie a better picture to post
