[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 531850, member: 1967"] Please don't make the mistake we made and wait too long. Our beloved shih tzu Abby had a mast cell tumor under her chin. We had it removed but it came back 6 months later. At that point, since Abby was 13 years old, we decided against a second operation and let things run its course. The tumor grew very quickly and the vet told us the time to put her down would be when she stopped eating. So we watched for that and it finally happened on a Saturday. Of course, the vet was closed so we decided to take her in on Monday morning. Sunday night was horrible. husband stayed up with her all night. She was very agitated, getting up and falling back down, and screamed out in pain several times. The next morning, when I was leaving for school, I bent down to tell her goodbye and had my hand on her side as she took her last breath and died. I will never forgive myself for making her go through that last night of her life. I agree with SuZir. . . better a day too soon than a day too late. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
