Go ahead and have the leg ampuated. He'll won't even miss it after he heals. When I was growing up in the country, i saw quite a few three legged animals of different speicies and they all got along great with three legs sometimes even outrunning their four legged counterparts.

If you can afford to, amputate the leg. Most dogs get along just fine on three legs.

90% of dogs dont miss their legs and it doesnt slow them down at all. he will be in pain for a few days, but most dogs are up and walking within the next day or two

I have a friend that had a dog with three legs. It was strange but the dog adapted. Is the dog going to have a good quality life? Will it be suffering? Those are the questions you need to answer yourself.

Uh amputate his leg.. ask any one legged person and they will tall you the walking trouble is nothing.. what counts is you are still alive. Thats like saying well just pull the plug cause now he's handicapped.. I have seen 2 legged dogs that were happy and got around just fine, paralyzed ones too.. Dont give up on your dog so easy.. I know I never would Dogs are survivors.. four legs or none they are happy, we humans should learn from them.

PS I cant even believe a vet would suggest that.. stupid. Why dont we just euthanise every handicapped person/cat/dog then?? at least we will get the better parking then.. ha ha not funny

Well, thats a hard desision. but like other people said: it might be best to amputate his leg, He will have a little trouble in the end but he will get the hang of it and be happy. There is really no need to put him down so amputate his leg and help him out and take good care of him.
