As you can guess from my MN name, I love my animals! One of our beloved labs has just been diagnosed with cancer. She's fourteen years old and in pretty good health apart from the recent diagnosis. She eats well most days - she is a lab after all!! - and enjoys her daily walks. She has become very 'anxious' though and trembles frequently when stroked. We've made the (very difficult) decision not to have the cancerous lump removed because it would involve very invasive surgery which I don't want to put the 'old girl' through. Will we 'know ' when her time has come? I don't want her to suffer at all and feel anxious that, as a stoic dog, she may not be revealing how she's feeling. Any advive would be very welcome. TIA.
