Naomi, first of all, I am very, very sorry to hear about your baby. I know it is so tough on everyone involved. She is such a little trooper to have pulled through so many times.

Here's my opinion. If you have a good candiate for treatment and possibly a recovery, then go forward. If you have a bad candiate, as in behavior problems during treatments etc. and the Vet has little hope, then I would not proceed. But of course there is that question of money. And that question can be answered only by you. No one here would condem you for not going forward with such an expensive proposition. It is not bad to allow an animal to pass on to the next world, in a painless way.

I went through this with Gabe first when he was sick- and since the Vet had only bad news and he was not a good candiate behavior wise during Vet visits, he was allowed to sleep forever.

Graemer was an ok candiate for treatment, great behavior wise, but didn't make it - and he too is now asleep forever and out of pain.

The decision is yours as you are Bassetts MOM! She will always love you no matter what and when you decide.

Love and compassion.
