Re: Amputation

I remember Gabby's operation very well.
She was only 3years old when diagnosed with cancer.
The vet gave her 2 to 4 months to live.
She lived for over two years.
The earlier the diagnosis the longer the life.
Good luck dear little Lola.
You are one of my favourites.

Re: Amputation

Hi Ruth,
I hope all is going ok for Lola. An amputation to a human is a devastating thing but dogs are very resilient and can adapt very quickly. I know of a dog who was up and standing on 3 legs ready to go within an hour of coming round from the operation. Maybe its because they don't have a human's mental baggage and they just want to get on with life and back to their humans.
