Post Amputation

Hi everyone,

Our 2 year old Goldendoodle Roops had her amputation on Wednesday, due to osteosarcoma, and has been home with us for two days now. The doctors and nurses said they were amazed by her recovery while in the hospital and that she was up walking around on her own the same night of the surgery. So far at home the amputation has not slowed her down and she is moving around fine with no problems. Roops has just as much energy as she did before and I find myself trying to slow her down as she wants to go go go. . With all of that being said we still have a long road ahead of us with chemo but to see her now and know that she is in less pain and things will get better is an amazing feeling. This website has been such a huge help to read everyone else’s stories and to have an understanding of what we were going to face. It made this whole process a lot easier for my wife and I and we are truly grateful for it.

Hi everyone,

Me and my wife just received news last Thursday that our 2 year old Goldendoodle Roops has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma. We have the fortunate news that it has not spread to her lungs and her lymph nods look good but she will be going in for an amputation of her rear left leg in the next couple of days. I was told about this website and am excited to hear about others stories and their dogs road to recovery. I know it will be a tough road ahead for her but I am open to any and all advice that anyone has since you have all been through an amputation and I am sure some of you have experienced osteosarcoma in your best friends.

Thanks!
