Hi everyone.
Some may remember my boy Bouncer (greyhound), had a nerve root tumour behind his front right shoulder, which resulted in him having his leg amputated.
We are 12 weeks post op and all is fantastic.
Except he is back at the vets tomorrow (7th Nov) as he has another tumour in is stomach (had one just over a year ago, Chondrosarcoma).
So keep everything crossed for him as he is also having his lungs xrayed (as a precaution).
Just as well he's a tough old boy (will be 11 on Christmas day).

Oh gosh! I'm sorry about Bouncer!
We'll keep him in our thoughts for a successful outcome tomorrow and clean xrays!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Fingers and paws crossed here for Bouncer!
Sending lots of pawsitive thoughts your way!
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Sending lots of positive, calming thoughts your way from our greyhound to yours! Keep us posted!
Boo became a Tripawd Warrior Princess on Sept 8, 2009. She crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 2.7 years later on April 29, 2012. Run free Angel Boo!

jenna and spirit chili dawg
Diagnosed with OSA: 5/2/2011 Ampuversary: 5/11/2011 OSA returned in hip: 8/26/2011
Chili Dawg crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 8/30/2011 & is now pain free. He was my heart dog, and I miss him every day.
Lots of Tripawd love coming over to Bouncer! We hope it's nothing more than a fatty tumor or something like that. Let us know OK?
