by Melissa (Lis) Conarton, LVT, CCRP, VTS (Physical Rehabilitation)-OC, CVPP
Rudolph, also known as “Rudy,” is a 9-year-old overweight Rottweiler who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (OSA) of his left proximal forelimb. Rudy has been in rehabilitation for six months to aid in recovery after a right cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture repaired by a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO).
Due to the newly diagnosed OSA, Rudy’s owners decided to perform a complete forequarter amputation of his left forelimb (LFL), noted as the standard treatment for this type of cancer. Learn more about Rudy's recovery, how his case presented, and what was ultimately used in his treatment plan. Click below to download your copy of the case study.
