I think I know what I need to do but I really need a hand hold 😢I have a 10yo English Mastiff who?s age seems to have caught up with him all at once. He?s slowed down a lot in the last 6 months but this last week or so has really gone down hill. He?s struggling to get up and has started crying in pain and frustration, he?s been dropping weight despite having a really good appetite and has been drinking a lot. He had cancer a couple of years ago and had his spleen removed, when they opened him up they said there were lesions on his liver and kidneys which they did the best they could to remove but said it?s likely to reoccur. We swore we wouldn?t put him through another operation and I don?t think he would survive it now anyway. We took him to the vet on the 27th for his annual booster and mentioned all this, although he was fine getting up and down at that point, and they checked him over and just said he?s a big old dog who actually looks great for his age apart from arthritis in his hocks. And I have just noticed blood dripping from his nose 😔 I have booked him an appointment for this evening. I?m probably right in thinking we?re going to be saying goodbye to our old friend aren?t I? Sorry this turned out so long I think I just needed to write it all down
