What is the quality of life for a 12 year old dog trying to learn how to walk on three legs
Depending on the dogs weight and general mobility, I would not let the fact of the age of 12 deter me, it is other issues.
It is not clear to me if the Cancer is limited to the one limb or metastasized. Having had a dog who lost a front limb, a Sheppard, he adjusted quite well.

idk anyone who has done an amputation on their dog. That's new to me- as far as getting experienced opinions.
the chemo though- I've known at least 4 people who did. 3 completely regret it and spent a ton of money just to have their dog die 3 months later. Just seems inhumane to me to put a dog through that. Hell, I don't even know if I'd opt for chemo if all it was going to do was prolong my life for a couple of months.
