[quote=Anonymous]I found a vet, who while very caring, also has a good - and seemingly rare - perspective on the big picture. When I brought my somewhat older dog in with a lump on his leg, his response was "it may be cancer, it may not be. If we biopsy it and it is, we can either do nothing or operate (with a long recovery) and possibly do chemo. If you wouldn't want to go that route for an 11 year old dog who has lived a good life, there's probably no good reason to biopsy." I really appreciated that. I love my pup, but extensive tests and treatment would be a financial hardship for us and not necessarily in his best interest. Six months later he's still doing great and I splurged on some good doggie painkillers.[/quote]
