| Re: Osteocarcinoma of the Jaw
One vet at the clinic I work at has done a hemimandiblectomy a few times and she says the dogs do very well, so that's now four vets' opinions. I think this is one of those things that is worse for the humans ("ew, I'd hate to have that happen to me") than for the dog.
That said, I'm sorry about your dog, and only you can decide if this is the right thing to do for an older dog.
