8 year old lab mix disagnosed with osteosarcoma
How much time did everyone have with their beloved pet after amputation from osteocarcoma. Did you find it worth the trauma and recovery the pet had to go through. Would you do it again ?
Hi there!
You might want to check out our most recent Tripawds Quality of Life Survey which has some interesting insight from the community. Overall, nearly 100% of people say they would do it again, even if their pet didn't live up to the prognosis.
I'm sorry you are going through this. Do you have a dog or cat with osteosarcoma? Have you been through amputation yet?
Remember that with this cancer, it's all about quality of life. And although the vets can give you a prognosis, it's not a guarantee. Some dogs and cats will outlive that prognosis so you just never know.
P.S. Please remember these Forums will be turned into read-only very soon. Hop on over to the new Tripawds Support Circle to continue your hero's story and get feedback from the community!
