through end of life with dogs over the years. Only you can decide what is right, but I would think long and hard before opting for anything particularly drastic. I’ve been around dogs that have had surgery, chemo and radiation. I’ve seen them last 2 years after getting absolutely hammered by treatments. I’ve seen them pass quickly. Some dogs are more resilient than others. It is really hard to know what to do.

The life of a dog is just not compatible with that of a human. You are going to say goodbye, so all you can really do is make sure that you are making decisions for them and not for yourself. Not fun at all. Good luck.
