I agree. My keeshond of 15 years had to be put down last year because her heart swelled to 4x the normal size and was pushing into her trachea. She was having trouble breathing and would sometimes just fall over. The vet said surgery could be done but she didn't recommend it but gave us some pills to try. Soon after she started wanting to go out the front door even though her dog run was in the back. She would just sit there pawing at the door looking sad. We knew it was time to take her to the vet. For the first time ever she actually seemed relieved to be at the vets and laid quietly in my lap while the vet put her to sleep. It was hard for the whole family but Seba got her wish.

I just saw this post. Don't know how I missed it. I have been through the EXACT same thing. My 7 year old beloved golden doodle was diagnosed with grade 2 hemangiosarcoma subcutaneous 14 months ago. It was a small lump on his back towards his tail. They have him a very poor prognosis (less than one year).

We did the surgery to remove a huge piece of skin and the tumor and he recovered well. The biopsy was sent back to Colorado and the diagnosis came back changed to grade one hemangiosarcoma. Still a bad cancer but can be treatable.

He ended up not needing cancer and is still healthy today. It was honestly such a traumatic. Time for our family so my heart breaks for you.

I don't know if I missed it but what grade and location was the cancer?

I am so sorry you are going through this.

Sorry meant that my beloved jack didn't need chemo. Still going strong today. So blessed. Was surgery to remove the lump an option?
