Sorry to hear that you lost your precious Max. Only one month ago! It must still hurt so bad. You have my deepest sympathy, and may God grant you solace and peace.

Thank you. The vet was so comforting — even though he was new to me and to our dog.

We’d spent 6 months with another vet who had failed to diagnose what was wrong with our dog. The new vet didn’t either, but by then our poor dog had lost so much weight that diagnosis could ony mean one or two things — all bad. We decided to put him down, and the vet asked to do a necropsy (for free) to satisfy himself. It came back pancreatic cancer. That was a relief to know that we had done everythng we could and the outcome was foregone.

Max spent 2 days and one night in his care, but he looked at me and said, “I can tell that he was a good dog.” I can’t tell you how comforting that was.
