<div><font face="Verdana">I am going to suggest that Scooby visit a Vet asap, and get an x-ray of that leg. Tomorrow morning.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Probably it is nothing.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Probably it is arthritis and you will hate me for wasting your money.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Because that's what I thought when Mr.Cooper Sir began limping, and so I waited.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"></font> </div><div><font face="Verdana">And when he was still limping two weeks later, when I got back from a trip, I took him in. Because at that point, I knew, deep in my heart what it was.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"></font> </div><div><font face="Verdana">And we took an x-ray and there it was. No second opinion needed. A classic, textbook case of Osteosarcoma.</font></div><div><font face="Verdana">Standing by the x-ray table with Dr C., he looked at me and said </font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">"Do you want to take that leg off today, or tomorrow?"</font></div><div><font face="Verdana"></font> </div><div><font face="Verdana">Cooper lived another (almost) 2 yrs before another cancer got him. He wasn't the least bit bothered by suddenly have 3 legs. In fact, two days later he walked out of the hospital without help.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"></font> </div><div><font face="Verdana">When your dogs seem off or sore, and it lasts more than a day or two take them in. Get an x-ray or at least a professional opinion. Those guys didn't spend all that time and money becoming Veterinarians without learning SOMEthing-- make them earn that money.*</font></div>
