I was kinda waiting for the year to be done with that started with my endocarditis in Nov of 08. The really good thing is that I survived BE and 3rd OHS. But, this past yr has just been a weird/bad one. So, it's getting close to my BE anniversary, and my smooth fox terrier is not her normal self. I take her to the vet, and she is diagnosed with lymphoma at only age 12. I just burst into tears when the echo showed that it had alreadly gone to her lymph nodes. What a yr my family has had. And I was so hoping to get past the date without any more bad news.
So, we have her on cytoxan, which I give her at home. The vet says it could give her a couple of months, really an unknown. But, at least it lets my family get used to the idea that she won't be with us real soon.
Putting a beloved pet down is so hard, even if you know it's coming. I try not to dwell on it, but I know I must face it.
This is just the pits.
