Tramadol is one of the painkillers Ash is taking. There’s something labelled for arthritis that sometimes is very success for dogs with cancer. I’ll have to check my notes and then ask the vet about it.
We just want to keep Ash comfortable as long as possible ... until she would need heavy opiates for pain, or until the bone snaps.
I think it’s the best plan once they reach their later years. We talked about it some time ago, and agreed that was what we were going to do. It was very hard, but imho, sparing them pain is the most loving thing to do. It’s clear that Ash is a happy girl, and that she feels secure and loved. You and your family gave her a wonderful home.
So sorry to hear Ash is poorly.
