You know your friends here would do some fund-raising. If you don't want a second opinion, that is cool. But I did some searching and found this.

They have pictures of before and after surgery that are not gross or bloody at all...but they could upset a sensitive constitution.

Candace, thanks for all of the research that you've done. I do appreciate it. You do have to understand that CA is a huge state and I live in the Northern part and Long Beach is in Southern CA. I think it's about 8-10 hours away from me.

Like Slick said "quality of life is what matters and sometimes the cure is worse than the disease". I totally agree and I just want to make my Sunny as comfortable as possible and when his quality of life is gone then it's time to say goodbye. I'll never keep an animal alive just for my sake. In my eyes it's just plain cruel.

No, not your beautiful Sunny boy. Tracey I am so, so, sorry. Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Tracey: I applaud your decision!! **clap clap**
With such a short time left, the only thing to do in my opinion is to enjoy and appreciate each day you have with your dear boy. Quality of life is what really matters and sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

For what it's worth I totally agree with slick, in similar circumstances it is what I would to do for my Bob and Ebbs.

Much love.

Tracey, everyone knows what a good mom you are, so no worries there, my friend. You're doing what's best for Sunny and that's true love. The right decision isn't always the easiest decision. Prayers are continuing. Keep the faythe.

I wanted to come over to this thread and let you know I read this last week but haven't posted. I have not stopped praying for you and your babies. You'll all be in my prayers...

Many good thoughts and prayers being sent your way.

Thanks Chris, Mary, and Scooter's Mom.
