Decision

Based on what the surgeon told us, what we’ve learned about all the different ways Targ could die, we decided on the least invasive option.

We are assuming the best, but treating the worst.

If he has hemangiosarcoma, we have little chance of saving him.

So, we love our big boy for as long as we have him.. if it’s 4 months or 4 years.

And of course, Reiki and other holistic non-invasive treatments will be used to prolong his life with quality of life being an issue.

He keeps telling me he’ll die on the table, and I believe him. So no surgery for my big guy.

Thanks to all of you who have sent well wishes and healing thoughts.

    You have to listen to your heart and what he is telling you. I think you are doing the right thing for him and for you. Big hugs and we are sending healing vibes and well wishes your way.

    So sorry you’re even having to think about this. We certainly hope that Targ has many more years of life to enjoy — we know his quality of life will always be wonderful - because you’ll “make it so!”

    Keep listening to your boy, he knows best! I’m convinced our dogs will guide us through times like this if we take the time to listen.

    I’ll keep you in my thoughts!

    Did a quick search on hemangiosarcomas, and think I’d do the same as you. Too much risk of losing him now than later. Keeping our paws crossed it something else much, much easier and successful to treat.
