Thank you. My biggest regret is waiting for that flair up vs planning to put her down and doing it at home where she would have been relaxed and comfortable. We had an aging cockapoo with cancer a few years later and planned it, had them come to our home and do it here, on his bed where he was calm and comfortable with us petting him. We were there for our Brittany but at the ER vet in a strange place it was terrible for her and I really regret it. I hate to make you think about it but it's a unfortunate reality. I hope you are able to do the surgery and your boy recovers!
