All cancer sucks. Probably going to put down my little sidekick tomorrow morning. She’s had liver cancer for over a year and she’s completely crashed in the last two days. Vet oncologist has taken her off of chemo as well. She has a huge tumor on her tummy. All she does is moan and groan in her bed while trying to sleep. She won’t eat. She won’t drink. She’s so weak that she can’t even walk a long distance. Barring a miracle overnight, tonight may be my last night with her. She’s 15 years old, so I guess it’s time. This sucks, my heart hurts. :(

Fact...I lost my beagle to bladder cancer a few years ago and now my mutt has cancer all through out his abdomen

Luckily it's only in the muscle tissue so no organs are affected

So sorry for you to watch cancer take a pet. It doesn't get easier and once it's diagnosed, it's pretty much over.
Too many memories.

My condolences

Make her comfortable, see if she'll eat a piece of cheese (dogs love cheese) as a farewell treat, maybe take some pics if you don't have many of her now.

She’s actually eating some rotisserie chicken that I’m feeding her right now. Only thing she’s eaten in 2 days. She won’t even touch her frosty paws and that’s her fav. At least she’s enjoying that.

It does suck. My uncle just passed from cancer. My mom took him to the doctor's and they said 3 months. His siblings came home and we had dinner with everyone. 2 weeks later he passed.

My ex recently had a cat and dog pass from cancer. She’s on her way right now with some leftover morphine. We’re gonna keep her comfy tonight as much as we can

If true, yes, it's time, and that's a shame. Dogs are awesome.

So sorry for what you are going through
We are dealing with bone cancer in our Beagle, I’m not sure how long she has but she is still getting around & eating & drinking

You will know when it’s time, take comfort in the fact that you are taking away her pain

It sucks. I had to make that decision in April to put down my 10 yo GSD. She had cancer of her spleen that we didn’t know about, she was fine one day and the next she was crossing the rainbow bridge. Just take comfort in that your provided them a good life and they provided you with much more than you provided them. Be there for her last moments no matter how much is pains you because they saw you through thick and thin so you need to return the favor

It all sucks. Our english springer spaniel had a cancerous growth on her jaw. spent around 6k to have it removed and praying it doesn’t spread somewhere else.

send prayers for you and yours.

Oh man, that sucks. Had my 11 year Min-Pin put down with esophageal cancer 4 years ago. Hardest thing I ever done outside of losing my mom.

Cry hard and as long as you need. Then get another pet.
