Osteosarcoma is a very aggressive bone cancer that is diagnosed in 8,000 to 10,000 dogs annually

The disease is rare in cats and is seen most often in large and giant breed dogs. Dogs over 90 pounds account for about 33% of osteosarcoma cases

Early symptoms of bone cancer are often subtle and can include swelling, intermittent lameness, and fractures. As the disease progresses, pain and lameness rapidly increase

Osteosarcoma is diagnosed via x-rays and tissue samples. The cancer is then categorized as stage I, II, or III (the most advanced stage)

Unfortunately, osteosarcoma has a poor prognosis. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and extend quantity and quality of life for as long as possible
