Shasta – May, 2009

Today, Shasta, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. She had an arthritic limp in her hind end when she came into rescue about four weeks ago but nothing in the front end. Since going to her foster dad, she has gotten progressively more lame in the front end. Today, she went to the vet and we did an xray that showed the osteosarcoma in her shoulder. Jon reports that she has been in a lot of pain – Jon wants to provide hospice care to Shasta until we cannot manage the pain any longer.
