Taylor saw his oncologist Wednesday for a checkup and chest x-rays. The chest x-rays are CLEAR!!!!! Confirmed by the radiologist's report today. That is 3 months after amputation, and 6 months after original diagnosis of Osteosarcoma (bone cancer), with 4 rounds of Carboplatin chemo. VERY GOOD NEWS!!! He RUNS around the back yard just as fast on 3 legs as on 4. Next checkup and chest x-rays in 3 months.

For Taylor's amputation, he started Amicar the morning of the surgery, and that surgery was done later in the afternoon. I gave it to him at 7:00 AM before we left for the vet practice, an hour and 20 minutes away. It was given to him 3 times a day for 5 days.

Taylor swallowed a robin whole one time. No big deal. No feathers the next day. No nothing.

Oh no. So sorry.

My feelings about pet insurance are: YES. I've taken out pet insurance on each dog right after adoption. Taylor was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, front right leg, on January 10. Embrace has paid out close to $10,000, at 80% of billed costs. His insurance premium cost (he's 6-1/2 years old) ? $500.00 a year. That's $1.37 a day. Not even a half a gallon of gas in most parts of the country, and even though I don't drink coffee, I believe that is way less than a drink at Starbucks. It's insurance. You hope you don't have to ever use it, but it sure paid off in my case. I would fax in a claim form after every visit, along with the invoice. Within 24 hours I would get an e-mailed acknowledgment. Within a week I would get an email showing the claim has been approved (they all were approved for this situation), and a few days later, I would have a check. Checks were flying in all the time, and that meant the boys and I could go to the bank and they could get COOKIES!! And for the people who say they would rather just save the money each month and set it aside in case it's needed, that $500.00 will pay for one radiation treatment. That's about it.

So very sorry for your loss

Today is 2 months since Taylor had his front right leg amputated, and 5 months today since he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. He is a happy boy. He has always been a happy boy the last 3-1/2 years we have been together (he is 6-1/2 years old). Within 2 weeks after surgery, we were back to rides/walks. He (and Face), love, DEMAND going out for a ride 2-3 times a day, and then taking walks. He runs in the back yard just as fast on 3 legs as he did on 4 legs. Walks for Taylor means "working the crowd". They've always gotten a lot of attention, and if possible, Taylor now gets even more hugs and pets and kisses on his head, and he just stands there quietly, loving it. I promised him the day he came home to me 3-1/2 years ago (and Face 2 years ago), that I would always take care of him, make him feel as comfortable as possible for as long as possible, and make every day as good a day as it can possibly be. He's my baby. My sweet, mellow, laid back big boy. I feel so blessed that he came into my life. Thank you all for your support and caring.
