A few weeks ago we found that my beloved dog (nearly age 15) has a large tumour on her liver. We found out because she was drinking a lot, but other than that seemed pretty much her normal lovely self. The vet suggested that it wouldn’t t be fair to operate or have chemotherapy because of her age, and I agree, and would rather make sure she’s spoiled and knows how loved she is for however long she has left. They gave us antibiotics and said to let us know if anything changes.
Since starting the antibiotics, she’s had bloody diarrhoea (which she didn’t have before). The vet stopped the antibiotics, but the diarrhoea has continued. I’m worried that this is the end for her, and know I have to make the right decision for her (not just for us). She’s still eating as normal, although is sleeping a little more.
I’m not really sure what I’m asking here, just desperate to do the right thing by her and don’t know if I’m being selfish by not having her put to sleep. How will I know when it’s her time?
