5 1/2 years ago, when we first got our Cane Corso pup, Leo, this site was very helpful to me with a breed I had no experience with, now I am back with a heavy heart looking for some help.
Leo were were told has bone cancer in his front ankle. It is quite swollen and painful for him. He is on pain / anti-inflammatory medication. We don't really feel amputation is a real option.
We want to spend every last possible moment with him, but worry about going to long for him. Right now he is himself with a limp, but our vet told us that the bone will become brittle, and the little bit of web research has me thinking the 2-3 months that our vet told us might be possible, might be wishful thinking.
Does anyone have experience with this that did not decide to amputate? Any help in this challenging time would be very much appreciated.
Here's a video of Leo, just in case you'd like to see him healthy and having fun.
