my dog is a limp and X-ray showed a black spot may be a tumor?
my dog has been limping for several days so he decided to take the hospital and had X-rays of his left front leg and discovered a black spot on the bone but the bone is healthy, says the veteran. The vet sent some medications and told to come back within a week to check on the bone again. If your cancer we have to amputate the leg. I wondered if there was somewhere available web.
Sorry for your injury dogs. I had to put my dog for a week due to the crisis caused by a cancerous brain tumor. Of In fact, I was treating my dog for a similar situation. My dog had Ostyomylitis. Not sure if that is spelled correctly. It is an infection caused by stepping on a nail or something of that matter that infects the bone. It is a bone eating bacteria. X-rays show a "mist" next to the bones where it is eating. After a few weeks of antibiotics expensive "clindamycin" practically disappeared. I hope this is all that is for you. In fact, if your dog has cancer I suggest that the "stage" and see where the cancer has spread to all if it actually has. It does no good leg amputated when it has spread. Just leave with a 3-legged dog still has cancer. Malignant melanomas can often appear on the first leg. That's what my friend had, but began in the mouth .... other common area. The only way to know if it is cancerous is to biopsy it. If you become malignant and staging ask me before amputation. See where everything has spread. Once you get to the lymph nodes to be in a whirlwind and spreads to the lungs, brain and other organs. This could be a costly situation. Probably about $ 50 for each biopsy done to see if that body is cancerous. If it is cancer and stage show that has not spread, I amputate the leg. Be prepared for a lot of money spent. If you are interested in canine cancer, just type in the canine cancer in the web browser. Is full of information. There is a page that just answered all my questions. Everyone is a little different. Hopefully this is just a bacteria that will vanish soon and no worries from here on out. If not, as the investigation of the possible. You owe it to your friend. Just a quick note: Most bone cancer occurs in the top of the scapula in the arms and makes its way to the leg. If I were a betting man .... I think your dog just has an infection of a species which be easily treated with antibiotics. My clindamycin was about $ 75 for one months worth. I would have gladly paid every month for years to keep cocoon around my age. Usually, a month will pay the dose of infection. Good luck and I hope all is well.
