First time on this subreddit so I hope this is the appropriate place to ask. I have a 13 year old Shepard/Husky that was a rescue which we got when he was 1. Last week he was diagnosed with bone cancer and the Vet who is just starting out suggested putting him to sleep.
He limps but otherwise seems normal in every way, enough so that we took his x-rays to another, more experienced Vet who said that if was his dog he would amputate the leg. In his opinion my dog has a good 2 - 4 more years left him. Now I don't know what to do. I don't want him to suffer in any way, but I also don't want to end his life prematurely if his quality of life is still there. Do any of you have any pets that have had a limb amputated? In what ways (besides the obvious) did it change their life? Anyone have any opinions or suggestions? I'm a little stunned right now and I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for reading this.
