Re: Ethical Issue: Cancer Treatment Decisions

(Wish I could type this in my first language)
My criteria about treatments and when to put a dog to sleep, was set in stones many years ago. There is nothing to discuss in my home, not even 25 years later. I do realize, that there are other treatments now a day, but I really doubt, if that is in favor of my dog. I do know it is a benefit to the vet’s bank account and an extension of life and respite of my broken heart.
I my self was randomly selected to medical research regarding uterus cancer, but I can say NO when/ if I do not want or feel comfortable with an experiment. (I am out of this project, since they didn’t found what they looked for LOL) My dog can’t say yes or no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(However, I have donated my dead body for donations and medical experiments, and so hubby)
Every time I have put a dog to sleep, I told my vet, if you and your students can use him for educations, I know he would be proud to serve this last time. He has served me, now he is yours, IF you treat him with respect and dignity.
I trust my vet and out of the four dogs, I have put to sleep, only one is burried in the backyard. The three other seved their breed and their canine fellows without pain and stress!
