Sending jingles your way! If you haven’t tried it yet for pain management, I highly recommend Librela. Perhaps something to look into for aiding Victor’s comfort.
If you go ahead with amputation I’m sure Victor will quickly figure out life as a tri-pod.

He’s got some stronger stuff (oral meds) on order but we’ll talk to the surgeon on Wednesday and see if that’s an option for him. Thank you.

Please join the Librela facebook group before you inject that.
Take what you read with a grain of salt, of course, but it’s not all sunshine and roses.

I just looked as well, lots of views and information to consider there!
My dog did have OA and the librela made her last two years quality of life so much better. She passed this spring at 14 (lab/shepherd x so a very solid old age!). For us it was a miracle drug, but definitely consult your vet!
Again sending lots of jingles your way!

As part of the leg x-rays I had them do views of the other potentially problematic areas (hips, stifles, neck) since he was already sedated, and he looks pretty good for a 9yo 80lb dog. I’m hopeful that the rest of him will hold up well if we need to amputate. He’s been on platinum CJ since we adopted him 7 years ago and is also on Adequan as needed, plus our amazing acupuncturist is right across the street.

I’m not sure where you’re located but it may be worth looking into clinical trials if there’s a vet school not too far away. For example, at the Ontario Veterinary College they are doing a study evaluating a non-invasive heat therapy for the treatment of bone cancer in dogs.

Thank you! Our nearest University is UC Davis so after his appointment on Wednesday when we have a better idea what is going on I might reach out to them.

Victor’s 4 legged brother ran into him today and he was crying for quite a while. He settled down and we gave him some extra meds but when I was sitting with him and touched his leg he started crying in pain again. We got him to the emergency vet and they’re working on him now. Jingle hard please

Diagnosis is he’s just super painful because of the lesion (that looks like cancer per the ER vet). She didn’t feel the need to do x-rays because she said it’s not the type of lesion that typically fractures. She was able to get him to bear weight. He’s got a fentanyl patch until his appt on Wednesday.
