[quote=Anonymous]Nope. Our 9 year old large-breed dog had some sort of cancer, but we opted not to go down the route of extensive testing and treatment. Part of it was that we just really could not afford it at the time, but even if we could have, I don't think I would have put him through all that for what likely would only be a short increase in life expectancy. Even if the treatments themselves are not as devastating to a dog as to a person, at least a person can see the big picture and understand why they are being put through it. (I say this as some one whose dog really hates the vet, and also as someone who witnessed my mom undergo four horrendous years of chemo). We opted for a few months of lots of romps in the woods and long belly rubs, and put him down when the time came. Sorry you're going through this.[/quote]
