Today Newton had a physical examination and some blood work done.

The results from the bone biopsies came back inconclusive. A histologic examination of the amputated leg will tell us what type of cancer it is. This will aide us in determining which Chemotherapy treatment option will be pursued.

I must say that I am very proud of Newton. At each visit, Newton is the rock star of the hospital. He did not bark at a single dog, man, woman, or child. He has been on his best behavior. I would like to say it is a result of his neuter ;-) although I'm guessing his limp plays a little bit of a role there too. Everybody wanted to meet him and he was wagging his tail the entire time. I think he enjoys the attention.

Newton is back to his spunky self post-biopsy. With the exception of the limp, which seems to get less each day, bone cancer is not effectly his lively spirit.
