i just found out today that my 3year old mastif has a tumor on the front left leg - and my boyfriend and i have to make the decision of whether to amputate or not.its so hard - your video really helps.

This is such an inspiration especially on this day! Our Dog was admitted this morning to have her front left leg removed. Watching Jade gives me great hope that our Susie-Bee will be pulling through this just fine. Jade and Susie seem to have very similar doganalities. Jades comes shining through in each video and similarly Susie has a zest for life. Thank you for sharing this and may the girls live for many years to come. Amazing, inspiring Dogs!! All my love to Jade .... Thank You! Peace!

@essellier Hi, I'm sure your Susie-Bee will do just fine. The first two weeks are the hardest, but you will see that she will be up and going in no time. I was afraid of amputation, but after watching other three leg dogs I knew Jade would adapt just fine and she has. We will keep your beloved dog in our prayers and hope for a speedy recovery after her surgery! In a few weeks you won't remember her with four legs! She will get along just great! All of our love to her!

Man, the way she wiggles her butt when she's barking is so much like my baby boy.

Our Rottie, Sebastian, was diagnosed with cancer in early December... they weren't sure if it was osteosarcoma (amputation would have been the only treatment) or histiosarcoma (no treatment). Sadly, it was the latter. In the two weeks it took for the diagnosis to be finalized, we struggled wondering if we could amputate. Seeing Jade, I know my vet was right. We could have. We lost him March 30 becaues we had no treatment. I miss him terribly. Wishing you and Jade all the best. e

@emarco28 @emarco28 I'm very sorry to read about Sebastian and I know how much you must miss him. I was afraid of the amputation since I didn't know what to expect and never imagained her without a limb. The "Cancer" word was scary enough, but she was limping and I knew she was in great pain from the tumor. The only thing to relieve the pain would be amputation. Again my deepest sympthahy to you on your loss!

hope ur dog gets better

[traviesojony]

i hope your rottie is doing good. i am trying my best to fight arthritis on my rottie because his hind legs are weak. i hope he gets better soon.

Hi,

She is doing just great. I will be adding a new video this week. She has come along way and is adapting just fine. She appears to be very healthy and her herbal diet is going great. I'm very sorry to read about your boy's arthritis. A good diet, elevation when sleeping or laying down, excercise, rest and watch his weight. Your vet may prescribe some pain medicine if needed. I wish you the best with him!

Hello,

Jade is older 9 years old and her leg was removed 4 weeks ago today. She is doing great. It was a tough decision, but one I don't regret. She is happy, playful, doing everything she did prior to losing it. When we watch her now and how she gets along it's like she never had that leg to begin with. We did have her lungs and body scanned prior to the surgery to ensure the cancer didn't spread. Her cancer was highly resistant to chemo. She is on a herbal alternative and so far so good.

Best of luck to you and your strong girl. Our dog is 4.5 months post surgery and he is totally himself. We also did chemo (lightest type) and he did very well with it. Check out all of our videos. I need to make a new one, because he looks so great now.

Thor's videos played a major role in our decisions with Jade. He is an inspiration and all of you that post these don't realize the education and mental therapy that gives us hope with our beloved animals! Thank you and good luck to you Thor!

@higherloveabove

I cried when I read your comment. I am soooo happy that someone else is helped by this. If we had not chosen to do the amputation, Thor would have had to already been put to sleep. We are lucky for every single day we have. Most days we have are good, sometimes we over do it and he gets sore, but then he will go and run to find is baby, then we realize we did the right thing. Please give Jade a huge hug and kiss from me. I have a feeling she is going to do very well with this.

Poor girl, I hope she does OK. My boy is dying of cancer (lymphosarcoma) right now & wont last the end of March (: Best of luck to Jade

[higherloveabove]

I'm very sorry to read that. I wish you and your boy all the best. It's a very difficult and heartbreaking diagnosis. Jade and I will keep him in our prayers. Our Best to Both of You!

We were just notified that Jades cancer is very resistant to chemo so I have elected to not put her through it.  We are going to take each day at a time and are now on herbal treatment and diet.

[gemini2261]

Gosh, that is such bad news, we also elected to go palliative care...the chemo is not a cure...all we can do now is give them the best time while they are with us :) It is a crying shame...

Go Jade! What a beautiful looking dog. :) My 9y.o Rottie Male "Kwame" had his front leg amputated on 9 FEB'10 due to osteosarcoma. Click on my name to view the vids I have of him; he also caught gastro 4 days after the surgery, had more surgery on the wound after the swelling subsided, and 2 lots of xrays and bone biopsies before the surgery= being put under 4 times in 5 weeks! Getting better by the day now. @

higherloveabove -THANK YOU! Aren't our dogs amazing? :) Good luck Jade, luv Kwame

[spamllpitdept]

Very sorry for your dog's hardships. I hope she recovers soon and everything works out. Kudos to you for being willing to make the sacrifices to help her out. Most people would ahve just taken the easy way out and put her to sleep.

[higherloveabove]

Thank you for kindness and best wishes for Jade. The courage I got was from Jade and her unconditional love throughout the years. I would do anything for her and since she didn't have a voice I had to be that voice. I was torn, but made sure these decisions were the best for her not me. Now I watch her and its like she never had the limb to begin with. She has a huge heart and I'm thankful for every moment with her. Each day is a blessing! I hope this video helps others in this situation.

It brought tears to my eyes. I had a female Rotti that had cancer on her right hind. We opted to not do the amputation due to the chance of the cancer metastasizes into her lungs.

Jade looks beautiful and appears to have new life and best of all...she is pain free from the tumor. It took pure courage for you to make that decision; I applaud you.

[higherloveabove]

I'm so very sorry to read about your dog. I too took a gamble, but we had xrays of her chest and entire body scan before we decided to have the leg amputated. She was in much pain and we were given two choices; put her to sleep or remove the cancerous tumor to relieve her of the pain. It was a hard choice. One I don't regret especially when I look into her eyes and see her tale wag. She is doing great and every extra day with her is a true gift. I'm truly sorry about your beloved pet.
