re: How did your dogs die?

Aussie diagnosed with Lymphoma. Would have survived with treatments several years if had been type B or T. Test came back as null cell with a life expectancy of 30 days sans treatment and 6 months with. I was not ready for to say goodbye so we did treatment and she lived 9 months till I put her down. Never felt bad or missed a meal till the day she did not want to go for a walk and we said enough. Don't recommend treatment for anyone else but it gave me more time with her and she was great till the end.

We had a similar story. Our dog wasn't feeling well, took to vet, vet did surgery and removed a tumor on the spleen, but also part of the liver. Gave her 30 days to 2 years.
Came home from work about 30 days later and she was sitting in the yard and didn't come when I walked in. Tried to give her food, wouldn't even sniff it.
Called vet, took her in, and she was bleeding internally. It was over.
Called the wife, she came over and we cried and held her as the doc gave her the shot. Great dog, and I wanted to be holding her when she passed.
