Guess this is one time when it's good for your hound to have a rare disease

Wow, that is an incredible update—so thrilled for you and Henry (and Truman, who hopefully can look forward to many more years with his best buddy).

That is stunning and wonderful news! It seems so unbelievable!

 

There is a woman in my group whose hound had an amputation for a soft tissue sarcoma (don't know specifically which one, but I don't think it was spindle-cell), and her girl has lived well and happily as a tripod for many years. I am confident Henry will do the same. Now you can proceed with your list of all the things you want to do with Henry without the same level of worry! Of course, there's always some worry, but this definitely changes things dramatically!

 

Given that his life expectancy has now increased significantly, it's probably even more important to make sure to stay ahead of any general orthopedic issues, so maintaining muscle tone, exercise, stretching, etc. will be really helpful to him over the long run.

 

OK, I've rambled long enough - now for the emoti parade!

I guess that mostly covers it....

W T F??!!! This never happens! This is amazing news! :clap I just had a really great night and this was the icing on the cake. So happy for you, Henry and the rest of the family. :yay

 

(And yes, the annoying part of me says send pathology results and x-rays to Dr. C just to get one last piece of input, but it sounds like it's not really necessary given the rechecking your vet did, woot!)
