Yea---I'd do bout whatever I had to for this old girl. Really, the way she runs around the farm, she acts like she will live another 10 years!
There is, although, a fine line between quality of life and keeping them around for our own benefit. I had to put our big hound down last year even though one vet recommended a pricy treatment which probably would have extended his life, but at what cost to his quality of life. The other vet said something to me, when I questioned putting him down if treatment was available, that really made sense though. He said "now is when they need you to love them the most" Sure do miss him though.
