Multiple carrying slings, stroller, bike dog trailer, Hiking dog bag carrier (Backpack) and lastly the 3D Printed Prosthetic, These are all tools I use to help my front leg amputee Tripaw and she loves them all! Everytime she see's a tool she knows exactly what to do which amazes me everytime haha
My tripod dog Belka had her right front leg amputated after she had been found roaming the streets with a badly heald broken leg. For her the amputation was a big improvement as that leg was hindering her movement. She just wanted to enjoy her new found mobility and loves running around. Its great to see how she adjusted to the whole thing, all in all, she is just an amazing dog.😊❤
My year old best friend broke her leg yesterday. There is no way of repairing her leg so she is in surgery right now for an amputation surgery. I'm heartbroken and feel so guilty. I'm also terrified. I hope I can help her live a full life still once she is recovered.
Great video Dr Alex! This is quite a sensitive and sometimes scary topic for many pet owners to talk about, and having these types of resources available to inspire and help them to make a decision can actually save lives! :)
It’s been hard for me to think about him not being the huge big LGD he was but I told the vet to remove his front leg He will be happy back with all the goats and free to move around I’m hoping for the best ❤
@@chadmiller6487 vet want 4K to do it and I don’t have the money, So I’m giving him ivermectin for 5 days and two days off, feeding him raw beef and chicken plus raw and scamb eggs with cheese It’s still swelled but is not getting any worse now and he still moving around and doing his job with a new 10 week sarplaninic puppy Nannies are kidding and I checked them at 130 am every night also
Thank you… this was very helpful and reassuring… my 2 yr old pitbull jumped out of my car while I was going about 30mph. She got road rash and a broken femur. I’m on my way to a surgeon to have her rear leg amputated right now.
Found an injured dog in the street and the vet had to amputate his leg to save him😔 he is recovering at this moment. We will bring him home in a few days. I hope we can make him feel better and happy.
How has it been since the amputation……my dog is scheduled to have the procedure done in a few days … his leg was hurt and unfixable …. I’m just having second thoughts if I’m doing the right thing …
@@user-er6lz9nq4z he’s been doing great! He runs and plays like any other happy dog. At first he was scared and sad but as soon as we brought another dog for him, he got up and started playing. I know it can be scary but he will probably feel better without the leg. He also healed pretty fast..
Thank you for sharing this, I'm not at this point at the moment but never know I may be one day this is such a great video to help people not worry so much ❤🐾
We just adopted a dog that was rescued in a very bad shape. Among everything she has, half a back leg was already amputated. We think that maybe she was a house dog, something happened, an accident or a larger dog attacked her because she also has a very large scar in her neck (probably just their first owners being bad human beings?) Anyway. We have no idea of why the leg was amputated. Keka (that's her name) also has cancer, but called TBT and it's being treated for it. But vets say that other than TBT, she doesn't have cancer anywhere else. SO we're looking everywhere of rinformation on how to "be" with her. What do we need in order for her to be well. It looks like she lost her legs a long time ago because she moves very well, but since there's still half a leg we wonder if a protesis would be good or not. Thank you for the info in the video, it's great to see other dogs being so happy after loosing a leg.
My dog Piper 11 years old is undergoing amputation in 7 days. If there is anything I can communicate that might help others struggling with this decision and the results with that decision as they unfold I am happy to share ..
My 8 year old cat just had her left back leg amputated due to one cancer. We are both adjusting. I worry she won’t be able to jump onto things or navigate stairs. Suggestions?
We have a 10 yo boxer that went in today with a broken leg and cancer was found. Amputation is in three days and I am scared to death. It’s a front leg. Help I am so scared.
Hi. I would love to know how your boxer is doing. My 9 year old Golden goes in tomorrow for a front leg amputation due to cancer and I’m definitely a little concerned. Hope all is well.
Our baby girl kitty just had to get a back leg amputation, it was fractured from something that weakened the bones in her leg, we're hoping and praying the biopsy results will be something that's curable or treatable, I'm terrified to find out, I've already lost so much, I can't lose her.
Please how can I get in touch with you my dog has had to have have unnecessary amputation and I need advice as I’m being asking to pay the bill I’m in desperate need of help please please
Hi everyone, my 10 year old male Akita Inu was found with Osteosaroma in his front left foor. We amputated and the doctors did already the first chemotherapy to my dog....but i am worried about my health living together with a dog during his chemo. My Vet never warned me about taking precautions and measures for my personal health... Thank god the dog neither vomited nor had diarrhea and i always bag his poop But he should tell me to wear gloves too and most important he should tell me to avoid kissing him near his mouth and muzzle and not let him lick me !!! Now i am trying to remember the first three days after his first chemo, what kind of contact i had with my dog and i am freaking out because i learned that the chemo could be cancerous for the people .....I let him lick my leg a little and i kissed him on the muzzle near the mouth right after his first chemo when the Vet brought him to me.... Could any suspicious contact that i had with my dog with his saliva and poop be fatal for my health ?
@@OurPetsHealthwhat will the end of Life entail? What will it be like? My 10.5 year old lab with amputation due to osteosarcoma has been given 14-19 weeks to Live. We do not know what to expect any of that prognosis to look like and how will we know when to step in to ease his departure?
Hello buddy ✌️ Dr Alex 👋 good to see you again my friend I wish you could see little Arnold he is snuggled up with me on the porch swing watching with me now bigfoot is at my feet snoozing.. for the last five days now bigfoot has been doing extra good I think because maybe the weather has cooled down here and he always did like the cooler weather I do also..I just had a outbreak of flea's I guess it is the time of year when they come out I went to my vet today and she gave me simparica. It's a chewable tablets but I had to crush it up and put in the food..I just noticed this evening that Arnold has developed a round like a marble under his skin on his floppy part of his ears so I will have to call tomorrow and try to find out what that's all about.. well good to see you again my friend may God bless you and your family and keep you all safe 🙏 Dr Alex.. take care of yourself buddy 👍👌✌️🐕🐕 me Arnold and bigfoot we thank you for your valuable videos we love to watch them and we love you too buddy have a wonderful day my friend.
My dog is looking at a right leg amputation as the bone has just crumbled away I don’t think she’ll cope is it kinder to put her to sleep any advice would be greatly appreciated

it's a year out, i wish you well. remember this...... any time you make a decision based on love and compassion it's the right decision
I'm there now, she's home now but we are waiting for the biopsy results, I'm so scared to find out... it's heartbreaking

What if my dog is 16 years old , have heart problems and also osteoarthritis at the hind leg?
Hi im new here and i had a question for my dog she a dachshund and 6 mounths and hand red rush and shacking
what shoud i do?
HI, if she's not well and shaking then I would suggest getting her checked over by your vet as it could be a sign of several different problems
When they say the dog might live up to 1 year after amputation for osteosarcoma, what is the anticipated cause of death after a year?
Most often spread of the tumour, as even if it appears small on xrays it has already spread to the rest of the body in most cases.
