I just got my Dollar back from the vet and the prognosis is not good. Her tumor is now about 80% of her bladder. The proxicam worked for a short period and now has ceased working. I took all my literature from this newsgroup to the vet and the sweet guy said it was worth a shot but I could see it in his face that what he was really saying is that she is past any help it is just too far along. So I have been crying for the last hour wondering what my life would be like without my best girl. She has the cancer and I am feeling sorry for myself.
I am so bad at dealing with death, I am not sure if I just let her die from this disease or do I put her down. She doesn't seem in pain, she is just her same bubbly, mouthy, playful self. I really don't mind the pee puddles I find around the house, it is just a mild inconvenience. Can someone tell me if she will go quietly from this cancer or will it get painful for her and therefore I should put her down. I just wish she could tell me what she wants.
Thanks for any input
Lori
