O Wow that is really young. I hate that for u. What is GSD? Ruth (my
dog) was full grown when someone dropped her off near our house, and
she adopted us. We had her for 10 years, so she must have been 11-12
years old at least. She was still in great health, till this tumor all
of a sudden appeared. Even with the tumors she was still eating and
drinking and wagging her tail and acting like nothing was wrong with
her. I just couldn't make her wait till she was in pain to do what I
knew had to be done.

Yes.....it really did hurt
a whole lot and I hope I never have to do it again. I loved her enough
to let her go before she was in a lot of pain, but she must have been
uncomfortable. The main tumor had grown from the size of an orange to
the size larger than a grapefruit from Sat. to Mon. The vet put her on
anti-biotics and steriods as a pre-op measure, and that shrunk the
tumor slightly but 2 more tumors, the size of eggs, developed next to
the big tumor, within a week. So I knew surgery was useless. The vet
said he was 99% sure it was a bad, fast growing cancer. When she grew 2
more tumors, so fast, I knew he was right. So I did what I had to do.
Does anyone know why cats and dogs get cancer these days? I am 56 yr
old and I have had many, many cats and dogs and never before, the last
few years, have I seen cats and dogs getting cancer like this. Just
thinking out loud.

I am very sorry for your loss too. That's
a darn shame! It must really hurt to have to make that decision (I hope
I never have to). I wish they'd live as long as people, too. But just
the lucky ones that find good homes. I'd hate to think about all the
ones in mills and pounds and such living that long. Marie

I am glad she found you! Unfortunately, not all dog
owners are as patient as you are. Bad breeders are also a BIG reason
dogs get turned in at pounds. Especially because of the cleanliness
problem.
