My guide dog Bart had osteosarcoma and we came to the U. of I. after he had been diagnosed. We were told that he would live only one to three months unless we had his leg amputated and then he may have an additional three months. When we met with the doctor at U.of I., we were told about the study regarding Bart's cancer and agreed to put Bart on the trial. Bart lived a very full life for an additional thirteen months. He continued to guide me, played, ate and did everything he had always done. The last two weeks of his life he began to slow down as the pain increased. The doctors made sure that he was comfortable and relatively pain-free throughout his battle. Bart even looked forward to his monthly trips! He especially loved Rebecca and any of the staff he came in contact with. I would like to say Thank You to everyone at U. of I. Veterinary Hospital for treating Bart with such love and TLC.

He was already agiitated and threw a fit. The vet was knowlegable about the horses condition, treatment and expectations
