Our beautiful Black Lab was diagnosed with bone cancer in her front right leg. The first vet gave her a 3-4 month timeframe. We then took her to a second opinion, who basically said the cancer has most likey spread to her lungs. I have been doing a lot of research online and found a wonderful vet in madison at the university school of veterinary. They did xrays today and her lungs are clear. HOWEVER, he did state the the staticis after amputation and chemo, she may live for only a few more months. 97% DO NOT last long. But in the waiting room, we talked with 2 different dog parents, and their dogs are still here after 4 years. With amputation, and chemo. We are so,undecided. Do I put my dog through all that pain for her to live only 3 more months? She is 9 years old. If anyone can share with me their story, I would greatly appreciate it. This is the most difficult decision we have ever had to make.
