nancy14 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Denise, I am so sorry. Don't ever second guess yourself. Whatever decision you make is the right one. I went through this with our first grey, K.C., who had osteo. It was her front left leg and she was 12, and she did wonderfully. It's a long haul, but you are strong and so is Brooke, and the pain will go away which is the most important thing. I'll be saying prayers for both you and Brooke. I wish we lived closer. You need all the support you can get and that is why this board is so important in times like this. Will be waiting for hopeful news on Monday evening. God Bless.

Guest 4baddogs Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I've never had the option to amputate for osteo and wish I had. My decisions were always made for me right then and there. I think you're making the right decision. Brooke, her doctors and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevd Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) I too would have selected that option. Sending lots of good thoughts for you and for Brooke Edit - are they going to do a biopsy after surgery, to rule out any cancer?

Charlies_Dad Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 More good thoughts for Monday's appointment. I hope Brooke comes out of it well and that the healing can begin. You will be surprise how she copes even with a slight limp in the front.

AngelWhispers Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I too would have selected that option. Sending lots of good thoughts for you and for Brooke Edit - are they going to do a biopsy after surgery, to rule out any cancer? I'm going to "tell" the doctor to send her leg out for pathology testing. I need to know if there's a reason for all of this. Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.
