What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know About Amputation: Vlog 67

April 26, 2019

Amputation is a shocking thing to consider for pet owners for their pet. If you are watching this, you might be considering amputation & are overwhelmed thinking about removing your pet’s leg. As a cancer specialist, we often have to recommend amputation for dogs with bone cancer in the leg. And it is a somewhat easy recommendation because we veterinarians know the dogs are in pain from their tumor, and we know how well the dogs will adapt and how great they will do after the surgery. In this VLOG, Dr Sue breaks it all down for you, including what to expect at surgery, the recovery, and how well dogs recover and adapt. And we will go over high owner satisfaction rates. We know it’s not an easy decision, but we hope this information helps.
