The Results are in!!!!
Dr. Robinson from Veterinary Medical of Central New York called Mom today! It must have been good news. She was like jumping for joy!!!
The reason the results took so long was because no conclusive results could be found that cancer was present. Therefore, there is no evidence of Ostiosaracoma. The cells almost looked normal, Dr. Robinson said it was low grade.
As for the reason for the bone to be the way it was??? Could be the level of bone formation, or an immature bone. It is just a guess.
All I know Mom and Dad are very, very, very happy. They even gave me a taste of a meatball after dinner for celebration. Yes, I know I am to lose weight. Can’t help celebrating such good news!!!
Woof, Woof!!!
I do not need any further treatment. I am healthy!!!

Wow, Ted, that’s great news! I’m a little confused…does this mean that maybe there was no reason for the amputation, or just that the grade of cancer was low enough to cause no more trouble?
Whichever, I know your family are incredibly relieved. In the dog world, there is no worse word than “osteosarcoma.” At least, none I can think of. We’re still waiting for Dakota’s results over here. Can your mom maybe give a goose to the hind end of our lab?
Congrats again!

Dr. Robinson said that amputation was necessary as the bone was weak. There was no conclusive evidence as to why it was weak. We just know it was not osteosarcoma. My regular vet will get the official report and we will review it together at a later date.
As for now, we are jumping for joy!!!
Dakota, you can do it!!! Get up and get moving, movement is the healing power!!!
