Default Re: What would you do for you canine best friend?

First, very sorry to hear this. Next, do what is right for the dog. Many vets push thousands of dollars of treatments to make money but never really discuss what is really important which is quality of life for the dog. Good vets can be hard to find. To often these days they dispense tests and treatments that cost thousands before offering good advice. These cancer treatments while prolonging the dogs life often leave the dogs in pain (I have seen it and am totally against these treatments for dogs now). We put dogs down because they cannot let us know about their pain. It is counterintuitive but considering putting down the dog is sometimes best. As long as the dog is recovered, enjoy him but ask about the effects of the treatments not just the desired outcomes if he relapses. Good luck to you and the pooch! Do what is best for the dog in your heart, not what you think is best for you.
