Meet Buster the Beagle. We think he's a beagle mix, but aren't sure with what, because we adopted him from the animal shelter.
He has terrible skin allergies, and last fall, he developed a tumor on his back left foot. We had it removed, but the surgery wasn't successful because his foot never healed after the surgery. After more exams and xrays, we were told that there was cancer in his leg. The good news was that it had not yet spread to the bone, but the vet recommended amputating the leg to remove it from his body and to prevent it from spreading.
So we did.
Here's the pic from the day of his surgery (back in February):
He must have really been in alot of pain before because after the surgery, he got much more active and playful. He's a royal pain in the ass, and I love him to death. When we move into a house, we're planning on getting another beagle or a basset hound.
