You will make the right decision pal as difficult as it may be. I dread the day...
This thread has upset me :-(

Once they are off their eating for long periods you know it's bad. Happened to a few of my dogs now.
You may have to say goodbye if you cannot operate. Give the dog plenty of hugs and then kisses and take some pics if you decide you're gonnaput them to sleep

skyblue78 said:I have a 17 yr old Border Collie who has a growth in the top part of her mouth and this has made her snout swell on one side. This is also bleeding every day and sometimes blood from her nose as well. I took her to vet and they said they dont know if it's cancer or not and gave me a load of tablets. They cant do an operation cos of her age. Penny has virtually stopped eating now and Ive got another appointment at vets tomorrow. Dont know weather to ask the vet to put her to sleep or not. Some advice please.
Thats a bloody good age for a Border Collie.
Do the best for her and don't let her suffer.
Good luck xx

It always comes back to quality of life. Had to make similar decisions in the past and this was the only thing that kept me sane afterwards.
From the brief info you have posted it would seem the hardest but ultimately the right thing to do.
All you can do is listen to your vet, listen to your heart.
All the best.

Hope you make the right decision fella....there's not a lot of things sadder in life than losing a loved pet.
