Sorry to hear about Cooper. We just brought our 12-year old mutt (Australian Shep/husky/??) back from the vet after he had his leg amputated with a tumor into the bone. The tumor wasn’t malignant, and after 10 days he is able to go a couple hundred feet before he poops out, so things are looking up.
My little girls had a friend over today and I guess they didn’t explain the whole thing very well to her. They showed her where the incision was. The friend asked “How did THAT happen?” Mom was there and said “That’s the cut that the vet made to remove his leg.” The little girl replied “Well, is he going to put in back ON?!” :)
awe, it is so hard for young ones to start understanding the medical problems that affect their pets, parents, grandparents & selfs.
I hope Cooper does well. If he was overweight it will be a bit harder for him to get around for longer periods of time. How great you were able to give him another chance to be a friend to you all.. They are family & we just hate when they have pain/problems
just noticed.. your pup’s name is NOT cooper.. sorry
You must be so relieved that the tumor wasn't malignant, 21twelve. It's sad to see your little dog lose his leg, but he's probably going to handle it very soon as if he didn't even need that other leg. Amazing what our little furry friends can accept.
