My 12-YO Golden was dx'd by x-ray only with osteosarcoma in his back knee and the doc said she recommended comfort measures only with approx. 2 mo. survival. Heartbroken, searching the web. He is beautiful, alert and walks with a limp, does whimper from time to time, but good appetite. The tramadol makes him a little sleepy. Started him on 1 before upping it to 2 as he seems to be resting. The non-steroidal will start in a few days as he's been on aspirin. I can't see putting him through an amputation and chemo as she said it would only give him 3 more months and he may be affected with vomiting and bleeding from the chemo. This dog is almost human, intelligent, talks with his eyes, loves everyone. Did anyone else have this situation? I apologize as I know others on here have parents etc., with cancer and this is an animal, but I can't help being heartbroken. I am being strong as my husband is crying and vomiting, so I have to be the one who keeps it altogether. Sorry for the rant.
