My Labrador started limping has osteo sarcoma cancer

I'm sorry to hear that Dennis. As members of the family it is a very sad and difficult situation.

It's a hard decision but if the shoe was on the other foot you wouldn't want to suffer in a diminished and painful state for months or years, the eventual outcome won't change.

As animal lovers we, too, have had this situation. Our miniature poodle had a huge welt grow on her face in the space of an hour one day. Took her to the vet who sent us to animal emergency, where she was diagnosed with acute thrombocytopenea, which means her white cells were destroying her platelets and she was bleeding out internally. The majority of dogs die from that but she was only 5-6 years old so we spent the money and put her through chemo. She recovered and has been doing great for the last five years but it could have gone the other way.

Our heart goes out to you and your family. When he goes it will be very hard, all the things about him that you will miss, but fortunately for us the pain is eventually replaced with loving memories over time.

There's a book called "Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates" we bought when our last dog died. Not very well written but the gist of it is that we will see our extended animal family again in heaven. I hope that is the case.

Very sorry to hear this Dennis, dogs are family and it is so hard to lose one. The decision to put him down had to be heartbreaking but it was the right one. It's sad to watch them suffer. The good times will be remembered even as the pain fades.
