pabozem Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 There's a picture in the gallery of a wound on a greyhound. I can't tell from the picture what part it is, and I don't remember seeing anything posted about it. Can anyone enlighten me? I've worried about this hound and hope his wound has healed.

Ullaluv Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 That's my boy. He went back to his group, with a tumor on a hind leg, which turned out to be a rapidly growing soft tissue sarcoma. With the stage 3 sarcoma there is about a 50% chance of metastasis, so a 50% chance for cure with amputation. (Local excision with clean margins is not possible.) He came to me for his amputation. He had the leg amputated at OSU last week and should be coming home to me soon. (Technically, he's a foster, but he's not going anywhere after he come back here from OSU.) He is one of the sweetist, and brightist, Greyhounds I have known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ullaluv Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Who is RMarie? (He gets lots of hugs when I visit, and is much loved by everyone at OSU when I'm not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandimom Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I am glad you brought this up because I have been wondering the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabozem Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Ullaluv, thanks for letting me know. He will be in my thoughts and prayers as he heals, and hopefully beats this. I've had a tripod (front leg), and after a short adjustment period, you'd never know he was missing a leg. It didn't slow him down much at all. Keep us posted as you can.
