💯 Belle’s family did the right thing. They noticed she was limping and quickly took her to the vet for X-rays.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
😊They also thankfully got her pet insurance as a puppy.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🦴 Remember that if you have a large or giant breed dog with lameness and swelling on a limb, take your dog to a vet for X-rays as soon as possible because they are at increased risk for osteosarcoma. Early diagnosis is so important!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☢️ Like Belle’s veterinarian, your vet will take X-rays which often confirm the suspicion for osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone cancer. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👩‍⚕️Today, when I met sweet Belle, I ran blood work, did 3 view chest X-rays to check for metastasis spread, and got new limb X-rays to double check about whether she is a candidate for limb spare surgery. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🦴 Her tumor is in a location (distal radius) where we can consider limb-spare surgery instead of amputation. And the awesome surgeon where I work at does them. Then we follow surgery with chemotherapy with me.⁣⁣
