Hi Everyone
I have had two rotties for nearly 10 years now. My eldest rottie, Thai, will be 10 on January 4th and his life mate would have been 9 on Sept. 2006. Unfortunately, cancer has invaded my peaceful home and my beautiful rottie, Sasha, will die of osteocarcinoma in the next few weeks. We only found out, by surprise, this week and she is deteoriorating very fast. The docs gave her 2-4 months and I can only hope, for my male's sake (Thai), that she hangs on. If it were only myself and the family, the decision would have been quick and painless euthenasia.....HOWEVER,...she is not a singular dog that lives in my house. Her life mate is a very large male named Thai. He also happens to be her suboordinate. I fear that when she passes, he will pass soon after. He is going to be 10 in January....she weighs in at 85lbs and he weighs in at 145lbs. ....so, they aren't small dogs by any stretch. By me pointing that out, I am saying that, osteo type cancers are not uncommon and I know that. The dilemma I face is this......the type she has is aggressive and very very painful.....do I keep her comfy and let her die at home with her life mate or do I take away in the car only to return without her and disregard how he feels. i kind of feel like I should alllow him to come with when we end her life. This is just so hard for me.. I love animals more than I lvoe humans besides my children and spouse so....i feel like a piece of my humanity dies with her... Am I totally alone here????
