The standard treatment for bone cancer in dogs is amputation to rid the dog
of the primary tumor and then chemo. to rid the dog's body of the
microscopic bits of cancer remaining in the body. Osteosarcoma is a very
aggressive cancer and Moses' oncology team got right to work shortly after
his diagnosis by bone biopsy. Moses is almost six months post chemo and not
only did he show "no" (one day off his feed and same day as this, tired
after second chemo.) side effects from the chemo., he has a quality of life
not shared by many four-legged dogs! He did not lose any coat and, in fact,
I get complimented regarding how thick, shiny, and beautiful a coat he has.
He eats with zest and is always ready for the next adventure! Moses' chemo.
began in Nov. 2002 and finished in February, 2003. Treating his cancer in
the standard and aggressive manner has allowed him a lengthened life as
quality filled as it was prior to his illnesses (IMPA and OS).
