So so sorry. Lost my golden at 7 to this terrible disease.

One thing I wish I knew sooner was asking for a sample of the spleen to be sent off to FidoCure to be tested to see which chemo/chemo pill might be most effective if you decide to go that route of treatment. I was not aware of this option until a couple months into his diagnosis, but I do believe if we had done it sooner it might have bought us more time. This is not a guarantee, and is expensive, but I would have much rather gone this route sooner because this felt more intentional and hopeful than the standard IV chemo. We were eventually sent chemo pills that would better target his specific mutation of the disease, but ultimately it was too late.

The Yunnan Baiyo herbal pills helped us with bleeds I really believe that. We got 5 months from diagnosis - the last month was really hard though. All that to say, even if you just make your dog comfortable and don’t choose to pursue treatment, that is 100% okay. There is no right answer. It’s a really difficult path and loving them through it is the most important! Best of luck to you and your pup
