I have a 9 year old labrador (Winston) who has just been diagnosed with cancer in his front leg/shoulder. Sadly he only has only been given a few more months to live/before becoming paralysed. We started to look into the possibilty of having his leg removed but the vet has advised us that because the remaining front leg would be under too much strain it isn't really a viable option due to his age/size/weight (he's not overweight but just a large dog). He suggested that it would create further discomfort for him and therefore not provide him a satisfactory quality of life in his opinion. Has anyone had any similar experiences of dogs with cancer or large dogs with three legs?
