I can't quite believe I'm writing this yet somehow I knew deep down. My Jack, the love of my life, has osteo.
His left distal femur has a tumor that you don't need to be a radiologist to see. He was lame last weekend but that resolved very quickly with ice aspirin and rest. But when he woke up this morning just as bad, I just knew.
I thought it would be his hip and when that xray was clear I started to hope. It was not to be. I love this dog more than I can find the words to say. I look at him lying on his bed sleeping now comfortably with his pain meds and I am just not ready for this.
I haven't yet decided on our final course of treatment but am leaning to comfort care. I will take a day or two to decide.
