Diana I have not followed this thread for a couple of days and am so sorry to read the turn it has taken. My eyes have filled with tears. You are truly between a rock and a hard place with how to treat your poor boy. Your vet sounds like he is a straight shooter and some of what he said had to be hard to hear. Many of us here have been in your shoes and have watched a beloved pet become sicker and sicker and so we can totally understand. (((Hugs))) for you and Snoopy and your entire family. I hope that your hubby gets his wish and Snoopy can have some fun in the spring at the dog park.
