Would you do the same treatment today?

Please note that this survey is being done on private funds and
in my personal spare time. Please be patient while data is being collected and
compiled. Results of this survey will be posted on the WWW early in the new
year. With the accurate information you and others provide I hope to give Danes
owners a realistic perspective on osteosarcoma treatments and length of life in
Great Danes. I hope the information will help owners of giant breeds make
educated decisions regarding the treatment of osteosarcoma. Please note that the
consultation of a trained, licensed practicing Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
is recommended in the treatment of osteosarcoma. The compiled data is in no
means a recommendation for a specific treatment or intended to substitute
seeking veterinary care.
