NeylasMom Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I'm so sorry. Right there with you. If you've caught it early, even if amp isn't an option or something you would do there are better palliative options these days. Hoping you have lots and lots more quality time with your boy. ETA: Sorry, I originally read that as mamadog.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spottydog Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks for all your support. It really helps. He is still digging in his 'pit' outside, and stretching and 'bed making' in our room. How can this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaineysMom Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Our 10.5 year old Anubis (RJ's Saint Nick) developed (or showed, I mean) bone cancer on 7/10/12. We opted, due to his age and his failing rear end, to not amputate but try palliative care. He was on several pain meds including Tramadol (150 3 x day I think), Gabepentin (dose?), Rimadyl -- I think that was all of them. Plus we did 3 rounds of radiation where he had to be put completely under -- and this is a dog with HORRIBLE teeth that I was SO afraid to put under for a dental for the 5 years prior -- and I allowed him to go under 3 times in 6 weeks. He also underwent 2 rounds of chemo (can't remember the names). In the end, the chemo seemed to take away the last thing he enjoyed, his appetite and eating. I also switched entirely to home cooked, low carb meals for the 2 months we had him after diagnosis (let him go 9/12/12). in hindsight -- or, if our Larry or Zeke were to be diagnosed -- I would probably just opt for the pain management and not do the radiation or chemo. I really will never know how much, if any, time either of them added to his life and it was a lot for him, and us, to go through (not to mention very expensive, but I would have mortgaged the house if I thought it would help!). Nube was happy for those 2 months, at least up until the last few days. If only we could know the right thing to do But -- someone said to me once a long time ago -- that any decision, if made out of love, is the right decision...and I believe that. I hope you and your SpottyDog have many pain-free days left. Sending many, many hugs ETA Nube's was in his right shoulder, near the top -- I think it's a "better" (if that's even possible) area than say a smaller leg bone....
