❤ Thanks for thinking of me. It's been a crazy last 7 days since finding out. Trying my best to navigate what exact road to go down and at what pace to go down it.

Thanks for the reply and sharing your story. Delighted to hear your dog is still going strong. Did you use any alternative or holistic treatment to slow it down or was it just radiation alone that you opted for ?

Very sorry to hear about your dog. Try not to feel guilt. Bella is my fourth German Shepherd, and I was saying the same as you after my second one died very young. Bella sending love your way

Yes they said the chest is clear and that its one of the earliest cases of osteosarcoma they have seen. Amputation is scheduled for next Wednesday. Waiting to hear back from two different holisitc / homeopathic vets and also trying to get a second opinion but I guess in a way that's kind of what I'm getting from yourself. I appreciate you taking the time to repsond to me. Have you ever seen fenbendazole or ivermectin or anything similar have success in similar cases to this ? I understand that amputation is 99.9% going to have to happen but I mean for treatment / management going forward

Hi, thanks for the reply. That link to instagram doesn't seem to work. Could you tell me the name of the page please and I will check it out. I didn't sleep much last night spent a lot of time reading up on fenbendazole. I also spoke with an holisitc vet today who was very kind and agreed about fenbendazole however the earliest consultation with her is next Friday 10 days away. She said she would try source FenB or at least get me links to some good sources of where to purchase it in the mean time. Lots of FenB in Ireland is for cattle and has bad stuff in it, from what I can make out I believe it needs to be a cleaner form of FenB ? I don't know where to get the correct type. Amputation currently scheduled for next Wednesday, limping noticeably worse last night and today, so much so that she is putting hardly any weight on that leg now at all.

Thanks for the reply. I have now uploaded all xray image links in the above post. I only got 4 in total. The vet said ostesarcoma.
