My sister came with me to the vet for support and to make sure I wasn’t talked into anything so we came home via her small holding and Tara had a lovely walk and play with my sisters dogs. You’d never know anything was wrong with her the way she was playing and barking with the Labrador puppy.

Tough news indeed, Paul, but agree with the guys that you’re doing the right thing. She’s an older dog, and (things that the greedier vets don’t tell you), some such dogs don’t even survive the anaesthetic, never mind the surgery, and then they have to suffer through the recovery &c. Usually for nothing.
Fingers crossed that Tara has a good quality of life for the longest possible time.

Really sorry to hear that Paul, very sad, she always appeared such a lovely dog in the wee glimpses we got here. Very best of luck keeping her as comfortable as possible

You are doing the best for her. She’s had a great life so far and hopefully will continue to do so with you and your kindness.

Tara’s tumour has grown a heck of a lot since I went to the vet and she managed to pierce it on Saturday which made it bleed.
She still eats and drinks but I think she will lose the remaining four upper incisors very soon which will make things tough.
Still seems ok in herself, had 10 walks yesterday, and was bright and alert on her first morning walk, which was earlier than usual because I didn’t sleep a wink worrying about her.
