We had to make the very painful decision to let go of our great companion of only 4 years.
We noticed a couple of small lumps on his throat and took him to our vet. He suspected lymphoma because his lymph nodes behind the knees were enlarged and recommended a biopsy and we were hoping for the best but that was not to be.
He also told us that lymphoma usually progresses very quickly.
My wife and I agreed that we would not put him through the discomfort of chemo and just spoil him for whatever time he had left.
At first he was very much still himself, full of energy and a great appetite.
It was only 5 weeks from the time he was diagnosed to when it became too difficult for him to eat and we knew he would just get weaker and weaker.
The his waning energy and sad look in his eyes told us he was ready.
