They chose amputation and Cooper has done fine as a tripawd. Unfortunately 2 days ago he had two more tumors removed that appeared very quickly. I do hope the Goldie does well!

We were there ourselves with our own dog Jerry when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Deciding whether or not to amputation is not easy, which is why we started our <a href="http://www.tripawds.com" rel="nofollow">online community for three legged dogs and their humans, Tripawds.com</a>. For any vets and patients who want to ask questions, read and see stories about three legged dogs and find out how life on three legs really is, we encourage everypawdy to come visit us there. We've got a supportive community that will be by your patient's side no matter what they decide to do. Should they go the amputation route, we're here to show them that "It's better to hop on three legs than limp on four." Thanks for being a great vet!
