I also had to face the "do or not to do". My 9 yr old rotty was diagnosed with bone cancer. We saw the x-rays and talked to our vet in depth about what the options were. We were not left with alot of choices. By the time she showed signs it was to late for " treatments" and amputation wasn't an option. ( she was 165 lbs and the cancer was in her left shoulder and leg). We asked about pain meds and what QUAILTY of life she would have with it. He told us that you will only get about 2 mths but she will be slow . We did try that for about 1 1/2 mths and when she didn't act like she always did and was visually in pain we took her right then and PTS. The last month and a half she was happy and we got a chance to say good-bye. We treasured her always but the last few weeks was priceless.
Only you and your family knows what you dog is like when happy....if your dog don't show this and is in pain....you have to ask " what would my dog want me to do" Live in pain or go with my family's love and die with dignity.


My heart goes out to you and your family and whatever descision you make for your beloved dog...I hope for a speedy journey. With peace and love.
