Nic - I'm glad your vet has been so up front with you. It's been years in my case but I still regret having waited too long with my first Rottweiler. She was in extreme pain and distress by the time I called the vet to put her down. I now know that the first signs of loss of appetite or anything else *off* is the signal that you have very little time left. Of course, one possible option if you can't get the vet right away would be to give an *extra* dose of prednisone & hope it kicks in enough to ease the symptoms until the vet can get there. But this is something I would check with your vet ahead of time as this is only an opinion on my part.

Nancy
