http://blog.theanimalrescuesite.com/sheridanpartone/?
Sheridan was diagnosed with Canine Osteosarcoma. But for Sheridan and his humans, that didnt mean he should just lie down and wait to die. Watch his beautiful journey as he fights cancer in his own way by living his life to the absolute fullest!

This is the story of Sheridan the dog, a beloved best friend who is battling bone cancer. Sheridan's owner, Morgan, and her fiancé Zach, share the experience of treating Sheridan's cancer and bring to light what Sheridan is still capable of after a life-changing amputation of his front limb.

So far he's handling the chemo like a champ, and his quality of life is still pretty good. The swelling is way down already, hardly noticeable now. He'll let us know when it's time.

(13,452 posts)3. I spent around 15K on cancer treatment for my beloved dog, Zelda.
She had brain surgery with 3 docs attending. She got through that OK, but cancer in dogs spreads like a motherfker...It got to her lymph system before they could do the chemo or radiation.
It just about killed me when she could no longer breath without an oxygen tent to have her injected.
I wish anybody with a dog that is ill good luck.
