Yeah it is always hard. I think the girls at the vets were as upset as
anyone. They all loved "goofy old Ed".
The cancer stayed in remission for 3 years and then just exploded on
us. That golf ball sized tumor grew to the size and color of an
eggplant in about a week and a half. It was the last chance for him to
go and not be in pain.
Do me too if I get that sick.



Sorry to hear that. A neighbour's dog is almost in a similar situation.
My Springer Spaniel has some kind of stomach ailment that hasn't been diagnosed yet..after x-rays, ultra sounds ... expensive low fat food etc, the vet is guessing either an ulcer or irritable bowel disorder. I hope they pin point it so we can stop the weekly cycle attacks of soft, sometimes bloody poop and no desire to eat for a day or so.

For very similar symptoms my vet, a very principled man, prescribed tylan powder. Solved the
problem.

I'll mention this to our vet.
Right now the vet is trying him out on Sucralfate (APO) 1 gram tablets and Omeprazole 20mg tablets...the second I was able to get at Costco Pharmacy for $12.00
