It is sad she had to get a tumor as no tumor is good. But this is better than a liver, kidney, etc., tumor. She may continue to live a long life as long as the tumor is external.
You are definitely doing the correct thing, Don. Why put down a dog with three legs when s/he's happy and adjusts? Good job. Give her my love. |
funny you mention a 3 legged dog.....I have a 3 legged cat!!! she was born with 3 legs! she is about 12 years old and gets around as fast as any other cat I have had!!!
she has had the tumor since last fall...not real fast growing but is growing. It doesn't seem to bother her either, not affecting her sight....
