re: Found out today my dog has cancer

I am sorry.

I held one of mine as she was put down. It was in New Orleans and the cancer that took her was very rare at that time in the New Orleans metro area. Diagnosis was by the LSU vet school who had seen it in some pets in Baton Rouge.

I had dealt with my Father's cancers four years earlier. Even though there was an attempt to remove my Father's lung, they got him open and then found more cancer.

I came away from the vets wishing that my Father could have been given a peaceful painless exit and that we treat our pets better than our loved ones with two (or less) legs.
