  1. No advice... just thoughts and prayers

     

    Had Kingsley needed to have had bone removed from above his eye in Feb, Karen Pastor at the Mass Vet Referral Hosp in Woburn would have been who would have done it. We think very highly of her and her bedside manner and talent at her surgical techniques.

     

    I have met with Dr Pastor in the past with Finn. She is very sweet and a good friend of my vet.

    I have seen significant growth since 4/22 Finn has an appt on Monday. We will see what the doctor says and go from there. :(

  2. Good news.... It's NOT cancer

    ... it is infectious/inflamatory. Culture revealed a common bacteria that can be treated with a wide spectrum of antibiotics.

    Bad news... if that doesn't work then treatment is the same as bone cancer... amputation.. Finn is NOT a candidate for amputation as he has a very compromised right leg.

    Dr Couto is still on the case and consulting with my vet for the best treatment options.

    :hope that the antibitics work :luck

     

    Has anyone had a dog with a bone infection that was treated surgically? (We are talking removing the effected area of bone and implanting bone from hip.)

    Specifically I would like to know

     

    1 How painful was the proceedure?

    2 Recovery time?

    3 Was it successful?

     

    .....and most importantly, in hindsight, would you do it again if you had to?
