    Thanks, I'll pass on all these thoughts and just be supportive. I'm sure just taking it one day at a time, letting things unfold, it will become clear if she needs to be euthanized. They can get someone to come to the house I'm sure.

    One nice thing they can do now, is take a paw print, and maybe even a nose print to have as keepsakes. And of course pictures, of her enjoying a fall day, etc.

    Thank-you. That is a very lovely idea. Aunty still doesn't know if she should give her milk thistle on top of all the other medicine. They bought it but she figures Asia's liver is hooped enough and all those thing combined will make for toxicity and maybe do more harm than good...?

    Milk thistle and sam-E help counteract the Deramax. But at her age and condition, it may not make much of a difference.

    I suggest someone always be with her, too. Suppose she had fallen off the bridge into the water? 2 of my older dogs did this, neithr one was able to coordinate well enough to get her head above water. Fortunately I was right there to lift her up, and then get her out of the water. (The 2 dogs, they were 15 years apart, both were females).

    Yes, she shouldn't be outside alone for sure. That creek is very dangerous for her. I'll mention that, she'd never survive a fall in there.

    My Grandson recently had to put his dog dog down. She had cancer and was at the point where she did not enjoy life anymore. We had a hard time taking care of her at the end, but did not want to let her go. If your Aunt and Uncle want to take care of their dog and it is not in pain then I would let them enjoy her as long as possible.

    Aww, send him our condolences.
