Hi All,
I have now got a 3 wheeler Rottie.Two and a half years ago she was diagnosed with bone cancer and given the ultimatum to have her leg off immediately and she would then possibly live 3 to 6 months.Until a couple of weeks ago she had a slight limp but the joint then decided to swell to a hideous size prompting the amputation.Looking forward to getting her back tomorrow.
Regards Neil

dogs can cope with 3 legs remarkably well, if its a rear leg, she'll cope even better. Hope she recovers well

It's always worrying when our furry friends become sick, but Pete is right, dogs are amazingly resilient with only 3 legs.
There is a 3 legged Rottie running(literally) around Carlisle, quite happily!

Healing thoughts from us and our 3 Rotties.

Nice pic of my 3 buddies

Just fetched Jessie back,she is not coping as well as her sister Sheva did when she had the same leg amputated (left foreleg) also through cancer.Possible reason was that Sheva had an Opium derived patch fitted which possibly gave her a boost,unfortunately she only lasted 6 weeks as her form of cancer was very aggressive and it attacked her lungs and she died at home.Hoping for a bit more luck this time,thanks for the replies.
