Lisa,
Hi, I am sooooo behind on my digests but when I was reading about Murray's
lump I couldn't help but be reminded of my Sammy. He had a mammary lump too and
was 5 and-a-half. The vet told me surgery was a possibility but risky
because of his age. Ultimately the tumor ulcerated and I had to try my best to keep
him clean which was a job considering how low they are to the ground. He was
on antibiotics also to prevent sepsis (?) but eventually he stopped moving
around and eating and I had to help him over the Bridge. I chose not to put
him through surgery thinking that was the right decision at the time but not a
day goes by that I don't second-guess myself. You know, the what-ifs....
I know this doesn't help much but I really do know what you are facing right
now. I can't tell you what you should do, of course, you have to do what you
think is right for your little guy. I decided to enjoy the remaining time I
had with my little one without surgery because if he had passed during or from
surgery I know I would have more guilt than I do now and who needs that?
Whatever you decide, Murray will know you made that choice out of love.
Healing wheeps to Murray and all the other sick ones out there,
Colleen
