Sue, I am so sorry Killi has to go through all this, I guess I wonder why it always happens to one we love so much.
Of course you need to decide yourself what you feel is the best coarse of action.
I can tell you honestly, if it was Perry or Daisy and I had to make that decision, it is difficult to make but I would go with the diet and medication and hope that would do it.
I would do the technizium and the exploratory surgery as a last option.
I know this is a difficult decision for you to make, I'm just saying if it was my dogs
I would go the same route that you have decided on. Please give Killi a hug and a few smooches from Daisy, Perry and me. He is very brave to go through all this, Bless him.
