Happy, hoppy ten month ampuversary to my wonderful pup, Tucker.
The months have flown by....though sometimes - especially in the early days - the hours and days crept slowly.....and Tuck thankfully continues to love life on three legs!
Many thanks again to everyone in this community who have provided guidance, support and a place to laugh/vent!
A couple of pics from the journey...

Our awesome Golden Boy was diagnosed for OSA in April 2014 in the proximal humerus, front-leg amp on 05/20/2014. Finished chemo (Carbo6) on 07/10/2014. Ongoing treatment: acupuncture + K-9 Immunity Plus ( 3chews) and home-cooked no-grain diet. Stopped Apocaps because of liver issues. Liver issues: controlling altered enzymes with SAM-e and Milk Thistle. October 17: started having seizures. Taking fenobarbital for seizures. April 18: started prednisone.
Hoorrraaaay Tucker! Congratulations on reaching the double digits, you did it!
Watching you get better and better and tackle the Tripawd lifestyle is a real joy, you always make us smile. Hope you're having a great summer!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
