Totally understand. My wife works in a vet clinic. She's a tech. Like you said, given the age and the symptoms it's likely not something that will be easily remedied. Best you can do is to humanly end the suffering. It sucks man. I've been there with pets. They are a huge part of the family. Sad day for all.

I am very proud of Tamara for how she is handling this. I am almost surprised that she didn't become the person that slaps her Visa on the counter and says whatever it takes...

Well my Thanksgiving celebrations have been cancelled. T's dog had another seizure/ stroke and we don't want to leave her alone. They will bring me a plate home and if it wasn't for the dog not being well I would be thankful for not having to to go dinner.
I hate to hear that Gary. There all tough decisions when there a family member.

She's old and has a good life. I am afraid that this is the end for her but don't see the point in paying crazy high emergency vet rates when she can see her own tomorrow. Tamara has already made the tough choice not to do the expensive testing to find out what is going on. A brain tumour would not be treatable so it would be the end and you'd spend over a grand for the test. Strokes are much the same, if she's having multiple eventually one if going to take her so either it happens naturally of the vet ends prevents the potential suffering. The third possible is old age onset epilepsy, we have administered drugs for that already today so again no need to see the emerg vet today.


My bosses dog was much the same a year ago. He thought he would have to be put down, but he recovered and is fine to this day. Just never know I guess.

Good afternoon guys


Sorry to hear about the bad news G. Hate to see her suffering. Maybe she will pull out of it?

My bosses dog was much the same a year ago. He thought he would have to be put down, but he recovered and is fine to this day. Just never know I guess.

I am hoping she pulls through. She is still eating and seems to be okay between episodes other than the odd wheezing fit. Very lethargic and sleepy but had the energy to bark at a horse on TV and some kids playing outside.
