My mom is starting to annoy me.
My dog has tumours in her lungs.
She's waiting on results to see if the tumours are cancer. But she also has them elsewhere... and quite frankly it doesn't matter if they are not cancer or are. She has tumours in her lungs. That's the second worst place, the first is the brain.
Someone wants to do the operation for us for $1500 ( another vet said it would be $3000 ). But chances are my dog will die on the operating table or would die shortly after. She would probably only live another 6 months at the most. But even then wouldn't she still be sick? Wouldn't she still be in pain? I wouldn't want to just be waiting to find her dead. That's horrible. I also wouldn't want her to be suffering, that's cruel.
We also don't have $1500 to do that. And my grandmother ( who is well-off ) offered us $5000 to do the operation. But... knowing my grandmother for the rest of our lives she will pull the "how could you do that to me? I gave you $5000 to save your dog!" bullshit.
I don't want that.
Anyways.
She just came up to me and said "Mila just ate half a chicken!" which is great. Mila has not eaten that much in nearly three weeks. We changed her dog food brand, she refused it. We tried wet food, she refused it eventually. She even turned down human food and cat food, she wouldn't take treats either. Now it's to the point where she can't run or walk because her legs shake and she's so weak. She only faintly wags her tail when you lay next to her/sit next to her and give her some love and talk to her. We came back from the third vet yesterday and I had to pick her up ( she's a golden ) from the seat and bring her out because she was too scared to jump out of the car. And.... good, she ate. That's good. But.... she's terribly sick still and eating won't make that go away.
