[@lisawilliams-merseymudlark]

I’m a vet nurse of 40 years and pets cope so well with amputation, so much better than their owners! Pretty soon he’ll learn his new centre of gravity and you will hardly notice from his gait that he only has three legs. Just a little tip, if he’s scratching at the incision with his back leg, put a sock (or 2) over his paw and fasten it on with some vet wrap. That way it will give the wound a bit of protection from his nails. It will get more itchy over the next few weeks as it heals and the hair grows back too. Best wishes AJ for a speedy recovery.

[@happylife8570]

I’m a vet in the US and I just knew as soon as I saw the footage of him holding up the leg. There are essentially 2 choices-humane euthanasia or amputation. They’re both sucky choices and there isn’t a right answer, just the answer that’s best for you and AJ. He’s a shining example that amputation can work really well. You can see his pain is so improved and he’s walking well already (and he’ll get better as he builds strength in the other leg) and playing with toys. He’s happy and that is the best we can do with our pets. Keep spoiling him! (And u can put a surgical suit or T-shirt over the incision so u don’t have to stay up with him). Stay strong and enjoy every single day as a bonus day you get with him!

[@toniprrp]

Euthanasia for a broken leg!! Crikey that is a bit harsh 😢

[@lisalamb2375]

OMG. You two made the best decision for AJ. He will adjust very well to only having three legs once his center of gravity is developed. You will be very surprised at how well he will do. The sock on his back leg suggested by the vet nurse is wonderful. Everyone who has had surgery will tell you that they itched a lot during the recovery as the skin starts drying up around the incision. The sock on his back paw is brilliant and will help him not to scratch the incision area. My heart goes out to you both and AJ, along with Sammy as I know Sammy was missing AJ as well. Keep up the great work. AJ has thousands of fans and so the only advise I give is giving him lots of hugs and kisses from his fans. Now take care of yourselves as well.

[@adriancato8652]

A dogs is not just a pet they become a member of your family. You are both kind loving people and have done the best for AJ.

[@stephenrussell6074]

I worked in a hospital dealing with human cancer for 36 years. The moment you mentioned the tumour on his leg I knew he would need an amputation. The only thing I was concerned about at that point was metastasis. Dogs and cats both do incredibly well with only three legs and after a month or so you will be amazed about how he moves. We have been through the loss of six cats, three of them to cancer only one were we able to try and treat but it had gone too far. I sobbed when I saw AJ in pain but was elated when I saw him back albeit minus a limb. Surgery is always the most effective treatment of cancer when it is possible even today with all the chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy. So although as you say it seems drastic it is actually a wonderful solution with quick recovery and little pain. I am so sorry that at this wonderful time in your lives, rebuilding your soon to be beautiful home that this trauma came to hurt you so. We all suffer when our fur babies suffer. I know how hollow and disturbing it is while we wait. Please don’t bother too much with filming or editing. A few minutes update is more than enough. Spend some more time with each other and your furry family we all understand. Sending love and support.

Hugs from Florida…. my lovely greyhound rescue had the same diagnosis as AJ. It took us more time than I would have taken to get him to the vet had we been home but because we were at our remote cottage we thought he had pulled a muscle and so limited his running. On our return home we went to our vet and also to the veterinary school at the university. The diagnosis was the same , cancer, so Cowboy had his leg removed and recovered rapidly. He was even able to still dig his beloved hole in which he liked to chill in under a tree. He got along really well. Best wishes to you and AJ. That was years ago so he is no longer with us but what great memories we have of him. Wishing you all the best, Camille

My cat was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer earlier this year. At first the vet said amputating her leg was the only thing to do until tests showed it had already spread to her lungs and it was too late to do anything. With in six weeks she was gone. So my heart goes out to you and AJ and I am so thankful that he is ok and still with you. How wonderful making him the raised bowl and adapting the van for him! I realise I’ve become invested in your lives and love to see AJ and Summer, plus all the wildlife, so this really did grab my heart. All the best to you and wishing AJ a good recovery and long and happy life. Amazing how well he is doing already! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What was her name?

I am so pleased that you got him back home, dogs can manage on 3 legs so do not concern yourselves, you did the best thing for AJ.

All love guys.. so so happy AJ's home and your family are back together ❤❤❤❤ well done you two!

[@cazn3757]

What a brave Boy he has been. The bond we have with our pets and the unconditional love and companionship they give is so precious. AJ will soon adapt and be running around again. Take care of each other, love and hugs 🥰

Well, thank God AJ has mums who care about him and listen to experts who want their dog to be pain free and healthy. A gut reaction is normal, well done for thinking about whether it was the right one to follow or not. AJ looks blissfully happy and he is not going to give a snit about anything except being with you guys and enjoying life, sniffing, snacking and getting his cuddles. Dogs are so clever. They have their priorities straight, just like you two did with your decision. ❤

That really is the best possible outcome, given the circumstances. I sure was crying until I saw Louise building AJ's platform dog bowl. My heart was overjoyed to see that. I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber who loves your sweet boy. We all know our dogs won't live forever, but losing them is truly the worst kind of pain, and I'm so glad this wasn't AJ's time. You are providing the best possible life for him. He is clearly happy to be home with his loving family. SO Much love to you all ❤Lauren❤

I don't know how anyone can judge you when it's obvious how much you love AJ and only ever do what is in his best interest. Sending hugs and best wishes to you all.

I swear to god I've never been so relieved to see a dog bowl appear, ever. I was convinced AJ was dead and spent the first 20 minutes in tears. I wouldn't mind though, when I saw the video up, I thought - great I love these women they always brighten my heart and my day. It was great to see him hopping around. I have friends with a three legged dog called...Trip. If everything else is okay he'll be grand. Take care of yourselves- it's been a shocking few weeks for you. I hope things go better from here on out.

Hello guys! So sorry to hear of AJs health problems. I understand your feelings right now. We lost our baby to Cancer on Oct14th of this year...and the pain is still very raw. It took a lot to watch this video and type this. I used to watch your shows with my Leo and show him AJ because they were about the same size. Leo was Pressacanario mixed with Husky. You do what you feel is best for him and give him plenty of love while you still can. God Bless you and your family! Because they are our family members too!!!❤❤❤❤

[@LoneWolfExplorer]

I must admit, I had tears in my eyes the whole episode. I knew from the beginning it was about AJ and I feared the worst! I was so happy at the end to find out he is still with us 🙏❤️

[@berndhansler3700]

Same here - especially when the camera went black... So glad he is "good". I´m sure he will learn quickly to live on 3 pads. All the best

[@jacquelyngudzinas2795]

Much love, peace and healing to AJ, both of you, and Summer. Take care of each other and your boy.

[@TheresaEfford]

Awww......what a roller coaster ride you've been on. So glad AJ is still with you guys. 💜...... tissues were used.😢 It took me back to when our pooch was ill, sadly we had to say our goodbyes to him 2 years ago. One of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make in my life. My heart is still broken but we had 11 wonderful years with our angel with fur. AJ has the best family... Best wishes to you guys 🐾🐾🧢🍫

[@saunteringsapsfords]

Hardest video ever to watch, so glad AJ still with us.lets hope many more years for him,sending love.❤️

[@martinlong171]

It says a lot about the both of you that the outcome for AJ is so positive. You dont need to worry about anybodys opinion as he couldnt have had better people in his life than the pair of you, giving him all your love and tender care. Thats why he is so strong and healthy. Unfortunately the prognosis for my dog "Shadow" was not good and I had to make the decision to end his suffering but I have wonderful memories of him from a puppy to becoming an old man. Keep busy, and make sure you give him plenty of hugs x

[@sandrahilton4690]

Martin - Yes, the worst thing in the world to have to do, but you know when enough is enough don't you Martin? They are part of you, no different to any other member of your family.

[@campervibe]

It really is hard, we had to make the decision for our other boy a few years ago and glad that there was some hope for AJ. Sorry about shadow, it’s horrendous

[@danielrodriguez5349]

The greatest love and the greatest pain. Sending the Lad, you two and Summer every bit of love that is in me.

[@carolinelythgoe2794]

I was crying as soon as I saw him at the vets in so much pain. You feel so helpless when our fur babies are hurting. I’m so pleased that AJ is doing so well and he’s so lucky to have you both and summer (of course!) looking after him. Please give him lots of cuddles from all of us and sending you hugs too sending lots of love xxx
