Just had a call from the vet he is not happy with the 2nd lump he thinks it may be cancer he is sending off the xray to somewhere else to get it checked snd speaking to the pathology lab again.
He is saying if it is the worst case she will lose her leg just can't take it in he is going to phone me back later please pray for Nala

she went last week to have surgery to have it removed but the vet was not happy when he cut into it so he send of the bone sample it came back ok but when he looked again today he said I still don't like the look of that.

I'm sorry to hear this. In my thoughts and clearly, many others. Wishing you the best. Sounds like you have a good vet, I agree. Keep us all posted.

The vet spoke to us both and said it is a tumor a very aggressive type but not bone cancer but he is 99% sure its cancer I have asked if it is csn we go down all avenues before she loses her leg have got her booked in for next Wednesday may be for another bone biopsy or who knows I to phone again Tuesday to see if the original piece of bone throws anything up
I said to the vet I hope your wrong if you are wrong I will take you out for a drink fingers crossed I hope he is wrong.

please kept praying for my Nala

Aww Maggie, bless you all. Here's hoping he's wrong too. If he's not please know losing her leg will be something she will adapt to so well and she will bound around once it's healed not even knowing its gone. Two people I know have had dogs who have lost a leg and they were amazing. My cat too. She had no idea she only had three and continued to climb trees and run around fast. If it's a fast way to catch it and stop it spreading and get her back to having a normal healthy life albeit a three legged one then I wouldn't hesitate, knowing how well they adapt. Sending everything positive your way for good results and peace in your decision making if it comes to needing to make some x

Huge prayers here for Nala too. Hope it turns out to be something that can easily be treated. Don't want to think of her losing a leg but as you know our Jess (mum and dads colllie) lost a leg when she was two. Never stopped her jumping walls or anything. She lived to 16 yrs.

Try to get in to see a vet oncologist, ASAP. Take everything with you - pathology slides, x-ray films - not just the reports. Even pre-surgery pictures of the area, if you've got them.
Having worked with an oncology group, I know the docs were as good, if not better, than a pathologist at reading the slides. They have more up-to-date info on what works and doesn't work and what is coming out.

You are in my thoughts.
