Just wondering if anyone here has tried the remedies suggested in the link, or if you have any other thoughts (more info on Lexie and her diagnosis in signature). Thanks in advance.
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here. Â
Hey folks not sure what happened here but we all missed this post!

Oh this is so helpful! I am going to save this for later in case we need it ... which sadly, we may need since we have 'the mets'.... Thankfully, we're not there yet. 🙂Â

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
