| Re: Ethical Issue: Cancer Treatment Decisions Every situation is going to be different. It is hard to say cancer and give an immediate death sentence. I have a friend whose lab got bone cancer in one of its legs. They did the chemo and removed the dogs leg. That was 8 years ago and the dog is still alive. It has been very happy. My first rottie was diagnosed with bone cancer just before his 6th birthday. I had him euthanized 1 week later. It was in his hip and I couldn't put him through anything because it would have been torture for him. It is a tough call. I miss my boy and it has been 3 years now. I let them help me make the decision. When they are having more bad moments than good than I know it is time to let go. My heart goes out to you. |
