hello everyone and thank you all for your kind words , you were a real comfort at such a devasting time.
the day after i told you about my deifers diagnosis of osteosarcoma , my vet took his xrays to an orthopaedic specialist in bristol . who after looking at both sets of xrays the first were took two weeks prior , said , he wouldn't stick his neck out and say for definate it was a tumor , he said the only way to be sure is to re-xray in a month and if it is somthing nasty then there would be asignificant difference in appearance , as they tend to be very aggressive tumors , so all we have to do is pray hard and keep everything crossed for a month , in the mean time today we fetched our new addition to the family . Madison our little girl who we thought would bring a new lease of life to deifer , she was ordered and planned long before our traumatic last few days ,  and as thought deifer loves her , once again thank you all and i'll keep you posted x x x x x x

Thinking about you both, Sarah. Let's hope little Madison keeps Deifer's spirits up.
