Hanz
Hanz is a 9.5 yr german shepherd dog that was diagnosed with OSA of the left distal radius. He underwent limb amputation on 9/29/11 and enrolled into the Palladia/Piroxicam/Cyclophosamide Treatment for Dogs with OSA clinical trial on 10/10/11. He received 4 doses of Carboplatin every 3 weeks, and on 1/13/12 was found to be free of metatisis. He was then randomized to be in the Palladia group meaning he would receive Palladia along with his Piroxicam/Cyclophosamide. He has been on this treatment for a month and doing very well.
Hanz was a active dog and always enjoyed daily walks with his owners before his diagnosis and amputation. Like most owners, they were worried about how Hanz would handle only having 3 legs and how chemotherapy would affect his quality of life. As you can see from the picture, he has maintained a great quality of life during chemotherapy and
has no issues adapting to life with 3-legs.
