Nina, either I'm reading this wrong, or this is unacceptable. You've been so protective of Spencer's stress level vis a vis the vet, and now you have to bring him in just to *talk* to the vet?? Did the assistant say the vet was going to do any tests or anything, or just talk to you about options, because if he's not, you should march in there WITHOUT Spencer and have your talk. That way you spare Spence the trauma of the visit, you can be a little more objective without him in front of you, and most important, you won't be forced to make any hard decisions and have them acted on immediately, you can go home to Spence and consult him in your own time and have some good time together. Don't let your vet force your hand, this is a hard time and you don't want to be rushed or distracted. Just my $.02.
