The dog is home and until last night was doing basically okay. Tuesday’s test confirmed pancreatitis and a shortenened life expectancy.
Today she is very sick again. If she is going to be repeatedly sick and/or in and out of the vet for stressful overnight stays we will have to consider her quality of life. If she gets an acute episode and the vet cannot manage her pain levels we will have to make an instant decision about putting her down.
At least I am prepared for the worst. There will be no taking her in to the vets and expecting treatment and instead being told we must euthanase her.
And I am making the most of her company and enjoying her presence knowing that she will likely not be here much longer.
Still. Not a good week.
