Well as the title says my old lab has a few tumours on her I got her operated on in early march to have the worst ones removed with the intention of getting the rest removed this month (she's not insured)
I knew she wouldn't see the end of this year but in the last week she has really deteriorated the vet gave her antibiotics and the lumps have spread from between her front legs all the way to her back legs, there are 4 spots on her which have blistered and opened into sores, I cleaned them and looked earlier and she has another sore which has opened and is an inch long.
She was up all night with a temperature and having to pee every 30 mins, she is my dad's old lab and she has been a great dog finding my first roe all the way to my first sika, first pheasant etc..
She is 12 years old and is now in a lot of pain so in an hour I've to take her to the vets to get put down, I feel bad about it but I know it's for the best as she is suffering and won't even eat her dinner.
I just feel really bad about it, I find it almost impossible to cry so everyone is thinking that I'm heartless. I've had dogs put down before but I'm just not sure what to say as they are all upset.
