Last week Jalo’s limp started to get worse quite quickly and we got an ER appointment to the vet on Friday morning. A more sophisticated x-ray machine confirmed the fear that had been growing in the back of our minds. Jalo had at least one large tumor in his right shoulder bone. The diagnosis: most likely osteosarcoma.

We were finally hit in the face by the worst fear of every flatcoat owner and the curse of our breed.

Jalo got a prescription of heavy pain medication, even despite the medicine his limp has gotten worse over the weekend and his general condition is deteriorating fast…
