I used to have a three legged springer. She lost a hind leg due to cancer. She adapted in absolutely no time and was back to running around and coming on walks with me. The remaining leg just seemed to reposition a little to the middle to give her more balance and she had real quality of life again.
The brilliant thing about dogs is that they do not feel sorry for themselves about losing a leg, as far as my dog was concerned the pain had gone and that's all she cared about.
For me personally the hardest moment was when i picked her up from the vets after the op. But seeing my dog cope so well made a lot easier.
I wish you you and Delilah all the best. I know what you are going through today.

What a beautifully encouraging story.  It is always lovely to read about these positive little fighters.  That's why we love them so much. xxxx

Update on Delilah's Op
« Reply #49 on: April 02, 2012, 05:54:15 PM »
Thank you all so much, it's been such a great help hearing from you all with your well wishes, links, experiences and advice.  I am so encouraged by it all.

Delilah had her op and the vet is very pleased with how it went.  Her heart and blood pressure were very high but he believes that was due to the chronic pain and they have come down.  She is now on all kinds of pain relief and I will ring in the morning for an update. The chest x-ray is clear so fingers crossed if it is bone cancer there has been no spread.

It's been so strange coming home to a house with no dog this evening, I don't like it - I can't wait to get her home again.

Once again - thank you all.
