You have my sincerest sympathies. You've done well and are doing well for this boy. Only you can make the final call, I certainly wouln't want to even attempt to second guess for you.
Could you please send me the "ferts bill of rights" if you have it on hand. I'm thinking it might just be handy as I'm presently thinking that it might help me with Porthos and making the decision for him :(
He's doing not too badly today (up and about and not floundering today), but he's doing a lot of sleeping and he has to be force fed now. The thing that bothers me is his difficulty in emptying his bladder. I know it's not one of the key signs of lymphosarcoma but if it's mastisised to his bladder or prostate?? Is this possible??? I don't want him to be in pain. I know when you're right on top of the problem sometimes you don't see the signs that your furbaby is sending. I'm just hoping I don't miss them :(

I was reading "the ferrt bill of rights", and the second law says "I
have the right to a life that is beyond mere survival". Is that all
I'm doing for Koda? I know he can't walk or crawl, and I have to
move him and clean him, and feed him 4-5 times a day, but he looks
at me and kisses me, how do I say to him "ok now I'm going to end
your life"? I'm really having a hard time with this. Before I make
any decision, I have to know I've done everything I could for him,
that's why we're doing more acupuncture.
What are your thoughts on this?
Am I helping him or hurting him?
