Guest dwolfe711 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) our Ripley was diagnosed with osteo in his toe this morning - lungs are clear - toe amp scheduled for Friday if blood work is clean - will know tomorrow. He needs lots of prayers - he is 12.5 - been with us since he came off the track at 4.5 - he's a big sensative boy - so he won't take the recovery well. But at least we can amp a toe - a leg would not be an option.Updates as soon as I have them - Edited January 21, 2013 by dwolfe711 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJNg Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Osteosarcoma in the toe is unlikely, although possible. Was the diagnosis made based on x-rays or aspirate? It should definitely be sent off for biopsy to confirm. Sending lots of good thoughts that all goes smoothly with surgery, and also keeping fingers crossed that it's not cancer.
