Dog Bone Cancer – Symptoms & Amputation & Treatments | Dr. Demian Dressler Q&A

Bone cancer is aggressive and painful, and by the time it’s diagnosed, it’s usually well-established. Veterinarians often push for amputation quickly, which tends to spin our heads around. Dr. Dressler explains why they don’t typically wait for a biopsy.
