Two days ago, we noticed Bruno had what seemed to be swollen lymph nodes in his neck. I called thr vet and took him in saturday. I was thrown into total shock to learn his has lymphomic cancer. I cried, my vet cried, her mother the receptionist cried. I was told, without treatment, he has 1 month to live, with chemo, 6 months. This dog has been through hell with leg problems and many surgeries.
I love this dog more than I have loved any animal. He is only 6,,, crazy thing is, he acts fine. My husband and his parents talked this over, we don't want to put him through the chemo. I almost find it selfish on my part, to put him through that, just for ME to have him 6 more months. I can't stop crying, I woke up wailing, horrible, guttral cries from way deep.
I want to make him comfortable in his last dys, I want a more holistic approach. We hve no holistic vets here, any advice will be great. I am putting him on the BARF diet, god I wish I would have known of this earlier. Any advice?
He is laying at my feet with his "baby", a lil stuffed rottie that he is oh so gentle with. 160 lbs of goofy love warming my feet. Oh my god, I can't take this,,,,,,,,,,,,
