OMG - she's adorable. We've had 2 boxers - the first one we lost to cancer when she was 12. The second one was 7, his heart was enlarged, he couldn't breathe at the end, it was heartbreaking. Cancer and heart problems are both common in boxers. I'm sorry you have to make this terrible decision. I'm sure she loved her hamburger.

I’m sorry to hear about your sweet puppy. We lost a kitten at 12 months due to renal failure. We’ve never had such an amazing loving pet before. We got him just before I was diagnosed with cancer. I choose to think something in the universe brought us together and gave us something we both needed in that brief year.

I’m so sorry to see this. What a sweetie. I’ll support you no matter the decision you make as far as his future healthcare. It’s so hard to know what to do.

I am so sorry!
Our friend had this happen to his Greyhound. He had the leg amputated. She did fine getting around. Unfortunately, the cancer appeared elsewhere rather quickly.
I wish you peace in whatever you decide.

I am so sorry about your puppy. Are you near a university with a vet program that could offer treatment? One of our horses had a catastrophic injury and we were able to get him transported to a vet school, who treated him successfully and at a much more reasonable cost. Just a thought. Prayers for you as you make hard decisions.

For what its worth, dogs adjust really quickly to having 3 legs. I’ve known 2 dogs that had front legs amputated and in a matter of days they were up and at ‘em.
This kind of stuff is the only shitty part of owning pets. Take care.

I’m sorry.
With a pup that young I’d be tempted to try the amputation. But I wouldn’t want it to come back somewhere that would cause pain to her but not be noticeable to you.
Hugs

I’m really sorry to hear about your poor little baby.
Don’t be terribly scared away by amputation. They recover and adjust quickly. We had to make the decision to amputate a back leg on one of our dogs due to an injury he had sustained before he came to us. He abustle amazingly quick. Our problem was keeping him still. Within two days he was racing across the park with our other dogs. We used to tell him it would grow back. I think he believed us. 😁

Many thanks for all the sweet peas responses and support. My DH was like "WHOA! What's up with all these emails about Millie??!!" Just my pea family being there for me. I appreciate it. We are really leaning towards the surgery. Need to give her a chance. Will keep you updated! |

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.
