I stopped by your webpage. We had an English Pointer who died of
osteosarcoma (Bone Cancer). He was 9 when he died. The details are
unimportant I guess, but the point is, when I discussed this with our vet, he
told me that the larger breeds are at significantly higher risk of it.
Experimentally, there are retroviruses known to induce sarcomas in birds, but
I guess none of this makes it easier.
As they say, only the good die young.
