My almost 9 year old golden retriever Jake had amputation surgery on front right leg on January 12 for osteosarcoma .  He has been doing great and went thru 5 rounds of chemo without a problem.  In the last couple weeks he started walking slower and seemed uncomfortable but still happy! He went in for his last chemo and unfortunately the chest xray  before his treatment revealed cancer in his lung and on his spine (new area).  He did not get chemo and we are trying to decide on treatment options.  He was already on Rimadly and Gabapentin. They just added Codeine for the pain from the spine/back legs and is tolerating it well. The oncologist recommended different treatment options. Our goal is to keep him as comfortable as possible to enjoy the rest of his life.

1-Pallada to stabilize tumor growth - May consider - Anyone have dogs that did this treatment after chemo?

2-Radiation - Probably wouldn't do this since cancer could be in other areas and would be considerable time and $ (especially after already doing surgery/chemo)

3-Zoledronate - Newer iv drug ( a bisphospate)  for pain .  Highly  considering. Anyone have dogs that did this treatment?

4-Pain meds - Will continues on meds for now . Hope the sedation effect of increased doses will wear off and provide pain relief for Jake to enjoy good quality of life.
