Red is 9 years old. Several weeks ago she started vomiting after eating and then within the last week she stopped eating completely. Up until this, she has been very healthy and active. Other than not eating or eating then vomiting, no other symptoms occured. I took her to my vet where they did a complete blood work up. All was negative. The vet put her on an antibiotic and antiacid pills. A week later no change so I took her to another vet for a second opinion. I was sent the next day to a specialist. The specialist conducted an ultrasound then performed surgery to get a better look at what might be going on. An hour into the surgery I was told that she had adenocarcinoma cancer. Apparently there is no cure for this cancer. I am struggling on what to do. The Surgeon stated that she has no pain with this cancer and my options are…do nothing and she has about 2 months to live as long as I can get her to eat. Do chemo even though this will not cure her but would possibly provide her with an additional 4 months. I know at the end of the day I will have to put her to sleep. But i'm struggling on what to do. When is the right time? I don't want to let her go too soon but also want to do what's best for her. Just wondering if anyone has gone through this...looking for some guidance.
