Dilemma
42 Answers
I've made a few postings over the last few years re my geriatric border collie bitch and have received a lot of support.
The situation now is she has hardly eaten for 2 weeks and for the last 2 days has eaten nothing at all.
Fifteen months ago we found out she had tumours on her mammary glands, I really didn't expect her to last more than a few months then.
I've been at the vets again today, they wanted to keep her in and put her on a drip feed which I won't go along with. Instead I consented to her having 2 injections, anti biotic and ant acid. Should have mentioned above she has thrown up at least once a day every day for the last 2 years.
I think I am finally getting to my question.
Vet asked if I'd thought about euthanasia, which yes we have, but really don't think it's at that stage yet, although we do know it could be imminent.
Lankeela always says "better a day to early than an hour too late". Albeit not eating she is still alert and is not in any pain.
Just getting things off my chest, I'm giving loads of TLC and fretting.
Thanks for listening, Wendyxx
