She'd started to limp a week or so ago and I noticed a lump this morning on her front leg.
Off to get it x-rayed and my worst fears were confirmed. No sign of secondaries in her lungs but the Vets (2 of them) think its only a matter of time.
Choices are amputation or putting her down. Amputation isn't much of a choice either - they estimate an additional 5 months typically - but that's for 6-8 year old dogs. 1 year survival rates are 11%, 2 year 2.3%.
I just don't think its worth putting her through that - God knows how I am going to tell the wife. MY daughter's been crying and hugging her all afternoon.
Shit day!
That is a shit day.....You have my sympathy.
Can't see an appropriate smiley for this, so imagine something that will cheer you up.....here.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
