Denali is still eating and drinking and hopping.   The vet called to see how she was doing, so I asked him about her little bunny hop.  He advised that most dogs that have their legs amputated have already given up using the leg and had already started building muscle on the ‘good’ leg where Denali had been putting pretty much full weight on her bad leg so her muscles have not built up.  I’m to give her 1-2 months and see what she does.  Today I THOUGHT I saw her trying to stand straight about 3 times though – maybe I’m thinking too much of it.

She’s doing well.  Since her surgery, every morning she gets an active spurt of energy around 3:00am and ‘bounces’ around the house until around 5:30a until she falls asleep again.

We should get the results of her leg biopsy by the end of the week.  My fingers are still crossed that it’s some sort of fluke, but I’m pretty prepared for it to be cancer.  I need to figure out which supplements will work best for her and which ones can be used with chemo and which ones can’t.  So much to learn still!!
