Question
My 9-yr old German Shepard has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her shoulder. The cancer did not show in x-rays 6- 8 weeks ago, but has now showed up. I have opted not to amputate her leg because she is still active and I don't want her last few months spent recovery from a major surgery.  My question is what can I give her to comfortable and strong?

Thanks very much.

Answer

Kristi, So sorry about this diagnosis.  Just make sure she is free from any pain.  I would think a anti-inflammatory will help.  Talk to your vet about pain meds.

I can suggest a few supplements to help with the discomfort.
Let me know if you want to start her on supplements?
