My Rottweiler Cora went into the vet for surgery for a torn CCL on her left side. Two weeks before her scheduled surgery we noticed her limping and hardly using her left front leg. We kept an eye hoping she was just sore from using it too much because of her back leg. We let the vet know and made sure to get extra x rays before her surgery.  

They called back letting us know the worst saying that she had osteosarcoma all up her left leg to the point her bone was basically deteriorating. The doctor gave us a 6 month prognosis. I feel so awful knowing she was going in to get fixed for one thing which she couldn’t even have done due to the front leg being prone to a fracture. She’s in so much pain and a fracture sounds traumatizing so we will be amputating. I’m also iffy on chemo I don’t want her to be confused and stressed with constant vet visits I want her to live her days in comfort. I know statistics aren’t always accurate and dogs are all so different but I’m aware of how aggressive this cancer is I’m just hoping she is one of the ones that get to have a few more years she’s still so young and has so much to experience.   
Im curious to hear your guys experiences if you’ve gone through this with your pets and what I can expect in the days ahead. Especially if you’ve amputated even with other concerns such as tears or poor joints. 

Any advice would be appreciated as well.
