| After having two dogs last beyond 13 yrs of age (and died of old age), I had four dogs come down with various forms of cancer. Two are survivors, two are gone. It is never an easy decision, other than getting as much info & statistics as possible regarding recovery. Then, you have to consider your dogs "quality of life" during & after. Of course, you have to consider your finances as well. It can become extremely costly, I know. Unfortunately, no one can give you a hard-core answer, they can only provide you with either comfort or their own experiences. For the most part, there are no right or wrong decisions. My thoughts are with you & your family. |
