We though he sprained something, and after the weekend we took him in to the vet and found out he'd been running around, happy, playful, like his usual Alpha-self on a broken frickin' leg. The x-rays were bad, apart from the fracture, he had holes in his bones on both legs and hips. We had no choice to put him down at 8 years old.

Unfortunately /w bone cancer, it is so aggressive a cancer for dogs. Even with best chemo or surgery/no chemo, it has a high chance to spread to the lungs/other bones within 8-12 months.

She was my first advanced obedience competition dog & the dog of a lifetime. The limp didn't get better and an x-ray showed a small bone growth area /w the classic starburst of bone cancer in the middle of her front leg. Specialist recommended amputation of her front limb, so we did the surgery. Dogs are amazing how fast they recover, get used to 3 legs and are much. much happier the pain of the bone cancer is gone.
