Leg Amputation

[rutylr]

Have a friend who took one of her Great Pyreness rear legs(due to cancer).She is doing fine.
Dasiey(one of my Rottweilers) has cancer of the soft tissue by her elbow.
They told me if I take the leg and do kimo ,I might get to spend another year with her.I opted not to take the leg as the cancer is aggressive.

Our neighbors sheltie had its' front leg removed as a pup. It had jumped out of their daughters arm onto the floor & shattered the leg. The sheltie lived to be 17 years old & did fine on three legs. The leg was removed from the shoulder area so there was no stub left for the dog to have to contend with.

Seen 3 leggers at the dog park, and honestly, if I hadn't taken a closer look, I'd have never believed it. Same old zoomies and play
Each owner said the dog adapted well and was happy and normal. God Bless 'Em. I often thought if I had to amputate one of Logan's legs to save her life, or make her comfortable, I would.
