[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 167597, member: 439"] if she was older, I would have a definate answer. But at her young age, wow, it's hard to make a decision. As Star said, she may be in pain and just not showing it. We didn't notice Buster being in pain until his bone tumor started to effect the way he walked. By then, the entire bone was so brittle it was ready to fracture, and our only choice was full amputation (left front leg) or put him down. He was over 10 years old - I just couldn't do the amputation. We brought him home, loved him over night, and took him back and NL (he works at the vet) did the actual deed. I would have a long, hard talk with the vet on what her long term survival chances are - survival as in pain free life. Or will you have continual surgeries, etc.? Remember, you are looking at a potential of 12 or more years - can you AND she take that? Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
