Hi Larry,

So sorry to hear about Sancho. This is so sad. He isn't very old is he? Like five or six years old?

May I ask how old he was when he was neutered?

"An estimated 10,000 cases of bone sarcoma in pet dogs are diagnosed annually in the United States. An association between body size and bone sarcoma risk in dogs is well documented. Across different dog breeds, body size is the strongest predictor of risk for osteosarcoma. However, no studies have used measures of body size such as adult height or weight obtained from individual dogs of the same breed to determine whether these factors significantly influence risk of bone sarcoma."

This is a pretty good study to check out, the quote above was taken from it. Please check out the study at this link:
