You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) I am so sorry to read this about Loca. Where is is? Are her lungs clear? For personal reasons I have had to do some research on bone tumors. Here is a site with Chondrosarcoma as a link you can click, BUT it is Mayo Clinic and it is for people. It may give you some insight. http://www.mayoclinic.org/bone-cancer/ Here are two links for pets. Sorry I don't do "clicky." There are limb saving techniques that can be used in some cases. http://www.acvs.org/AnimalOwners/HealthCon...sinCatsandDogs/ http://www.ivis.org/special_books/ortho/chapter_74/IVIS.pdf Edited March 4, 2008 by VinnieAndRexsMom Quote Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake.

Guest GreyDogsRule Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm so very sorry to read about sweet Loca. My very first grey had Chondrosarcoma on his head. He got it just a few months after his 7th birthday and left us for the bridge about ten months later. One of the things our vet told us was that this type of cancer is often less aggressive than other types. It turned out to be true for us because Max had 9 and 1/2 wonderful months with us after his initial diagnosis. We had many options available to try and extend a happy life for Max including a de-bulking surgery to try and reduce the size of the tumor and chemo. Because Max was such a daddy's boy and hated the vet or to be left in a crate, we chose only palliative meds for him. In retrospect it was the absolute right thing for him. His time after diagnosis was happy and nearly pain free up until about a week before we new his time with us was getting very short. I'm sure you will make the right decision for Loca and your family and that you will cherish the rest of the time you have with sweet Loca, hopefully a very long time.
