My dog has bone cancer. Can he still enjoy walks and the park?

Question

Hi, My cross malamute husky was just diagnosed with bone cancer, he’s too big for amputation so we can only help to make his life more comfortable until it’s time, he hasn’t really been for walks for the past few months due to his limping but we just don’t want to confide him to the house and the garden, atleast before he goes we’d like to take him to the park, let him see outside of the Home would this be a good idea? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 6 years and 11 months old | 100 lbs

This is a unfortunate diagnosis with not many good options sadly. You are doing your best to keep him comfortable for as long as possible. The cancer is painful on that leg, that is why he limps, but if he does not get out to enjoy life, his quality may be declining. If he enjoys being outside and going to the park, take him so he is happy. I would not let him run crazy and over do it because he way hurt the next door more, but at least he will be happy and enjoy what time there is left.
