We dont really know what the problem is with her liver the 5 grand is just to see what and how the liver is working or not working...and worse case... 4-5 days in the hospital, meds, and what ever else is needed to do the surgery and keep her stable. Im afraid of losing her shes my life... I dont know what I would do if I lost her.... shes only 3 and I feel her quailty of life will be great once treated for whatever the problem(s) could be.. Im not sure that it is cancer due to the blood tests.. but then again you never know.. Thank you for your concern

I had this dog for 10 years and it tore my heart out to decide to put her down. The Dr said he was 99% sure it was a very bad, fast growing cancer, and he said it could come bk in 2 weeks or 2 yrs.....there was no way to tell. I couldn't bring myself to put her through the surgery knowing it probably wouldn't give her much more time, since she started growing another tumor next to it. I could never put a dog through chemo either, I watched my husband go through that, and couldn't do that to a dog. I told him after the 1st chemo treatment that he didn't have to take anymore if he didn't want to. If they do this surgery, and if it is the worst, have they told u what can be done and the long term prognosis? Get all the info and ask urself if u can put ur furbaby through it. I will be praying real hard. It's an awful heartbreak I know. Jessica Wolinski wrote: Yes.. Its for testing and worst possible case... plus 1 week in the hospital afterward... This doctor is supposed to be very good at what hes does. This is our second opinion and I feel confident that he is correct... Im just having a hard time trying to decide if we should do the surgery and how and I going to pay address2000 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Then r u saying that this $5,000.00 surgery is just for testing?
