Previous previous dog: biopsy was done when mass on toe was amputated. Cancer turned out to be an unusual type that was not fatal. Dog died four years later from another illness. Previous dog: biopsy was done because the mass was small but suspicious. It wasn’t obstructing anything at that point; it could have been something else. Current dog: biopsy wasn’t done until after the amputation. The veterinarians were that sure that taking the leg off was the best way to stop the pain (which it did) and that the diseased leg bone (visible on the x-rays) was from cancer.
