Our grey Bailey (see my siggy) was diagnosed with stomach cancer on December 16th. As you can see, we put her to sleep the next day. She was vomiting and could not keep food down. Our vet mentioned she must have been in a lot of pain with stomach acids and bleeding tumours so we chose to say good bye and release her from pain and the inability to keep any food down.
People always say they give you a sign but I didn't get one at all. Dh and I were blindsided by the diagnosis. although she had been vomiting on and off for about 2-3 months, we thought we were dealing with dietary issues until the ultrasound revealed the tumours. She was still playful and loving, her eyes were shiny and bright, she didn't look sick at all. But she couldn't keep any food down and I could not bear to think she was in pain.
Geez, 7 months later and I still cry when I write this...I am so very sorry for this news.
