I am so sorry that you are having to make this decision. I am pretty well versed in Ostio. With all my involvement in Greyhounds, they are considered a large breed and far to many get Ostio.
The decision is yours, and yours to live with. I am not sure that I would go with the amputation for three months. I have to look at the final outcome. Still a painful way to end. I have heard of many going with the amp. and chemo, and Darcey (friends) is celebrating one year anniversary of being cancer free.
Very hard decision to have to face. If the cancer is already advanced to where the vet is saying only 3 months, I think that I would have to just do the best that I can with the time we have left.
When the outcome is inevitable, you just have to make the best of the time you have left.
My heart and prayers are with you!! {hug}
