Braveheart didn't give up - A husky/wolf mix, he was hit by a car 14 months ago. We tried, unsuccessfully, to save his right rear leg, but after 3 surgeries and much rehabilitation, amputation was the best course. But he didn't give up, and neither did I.

Angel (osteosarcoma) - By
the time you take your animal to the vet to see why they are starting
to limp the vets say that it has probably already spread to the lungs
but it is just not visible on any x-rays yet.
We went ahead and did
the amputation & the chemo and were praying that maybe just maybe
she would be one of the lucky 10 % who could be cured.

Sally (Cushing's Disease) - The past couple of years had brought many ills, including an intense worsening of her arthritis and an onset of Cushing's Disease.

We held her in our arms at the vet's, and she looked deeply into our eyes as they administered the medication. She died peacefully.

He lost his back left leg when he was about 3 months old.
