Canine cancer awareness, research and resources
Tripawds announces weekly “Ask a Vet” chat session for dog parents coping with bone cancer, amputations, and other related dog health issues.
New Live Three Legged Dog Chat Room Online now offers support for those seeking help with canine cancer and amputation in dogs.
Something that always kept me and my people going was the thought of all the other dogs out there fighting their own cancer battle, and all their wonderful people supporting the cause of cancer awareness.
One such incredible pack is Luke Robinson, Hudson and Murphy.
If you don’t know about the Big Dog and the Boys – or haven’t checked on them in a while – drop by the 2 Dogs 2000 Miles Blog to find out where they are now. And don’t forget to Puppy Up!
Bone cancer hero Jerry is laid to rest after nearly two years on three legs but his spirit shall live on forever.

It’s funny how a little thing like not being able to breathe, can really slow a dog down. I sure want to run and play, but I just can’t.
The last couple of days have been hard. Although I’m eating like a horse (because of the Prednisone I’m now on), the nasty lung mets have been taking their toll on my breathing, and I’ve been hacking and coughing an awful lot.
Even an increased dosage of Prednisone didn’t really seem to keep me from panting. Robitussin doesn’t help anymore and I’ve stopped getting up to nose around, except to go to the bathroom.
Mom and Dad have been agonizing over what to do next. The “only thing” really wrong with me, is that I can’t breathe. I’m eating, I’m going potty, and I’m just as cuddly as ever.
Last night I had a hard time settling down, and coughed all night. My breathing went from bad to worse in less than 24 hours. This surprised and scared my pawrents enough to bring me to the closest town, Jackson, Wyoming, to hopefully see a vet tomorrow.
Jerry relates the Helen Keller poem, The Power of One to the work he and his people do to help three legged dog lovers everywhere.
Personally, I expect to be treated like a King! Yeah, like I haven’t been all my life already. But since this site is all about sharing cancer dog experiences to help others prepare and cope, here goes …
During my recent visit with Dr. Mullins, we got the low down on what to expect now that my lung mets have started to really hinder my breathing:
