One of mine had lymphoma. I did the same thing, thinking she would come


to a point that I knew it was time. She had progressively less energy but otherwise seemed not too bothered. One evening she was suddenly and obviously in a lot of pain. There was nothing I could do until the next morning when I went to the vet to end her suffering. That was 8 years ago and to this day I feel horrible about what I did.
Survival time with lymphoma is around 30 days. She is not like she is going to recover. Please don't gamble for a day or two. To what end? For whom? I would much rather go a week early than 12 hours late, like I did.
