Hi, my four year old bdragon was just diagnosed with bone cancer in one hind leg. The vet said she will not live to see next year. I am considering amputation to extend her life. Has anyone with a dragon had a limb amputated surgically because of cancer or a serious injury? Thanks.

Wow, that's very serious. How did the vet diagnose cancer in one leg ? If by xray, can you post it here ? Can you get a second opinion from another experienced reptile vet ? And can you post pics ogf her ? Here's how :

Yes the diagnosis was made from an x-ray, which I don’t have in my possession. The x-ray was sent to a well known vet in The Cities and I have not heard back on his opinion. I also had it sent to a vet I have used in the past before I moved Up North last year. He agreed with the diagnosis. I will try to figure out how to post a picture of my girl’s swollel leg.
