A reader asks…
During the past 3-4 weeks my almost 13 yr old terrier mix has had violent diarrhea Complete liquid that just bursts out. . She has been back and forth to the vet for many tests all of which do not indicate a problem. We are awaiting the results of one more test, then they want to do a biopsy at around $1,500. From day one I have thought it was intestinal cancer and now they do too. She is still eating, going out and barking. She’s not as lively as she used to be, but I don’t think she is in pain. She has lost almost a quarter of her weight in the past two months. I really feel bad because I am a senior citizen too with bad health and she is my best friend.
Besides having diarrhea now she is vomitting too, and then wants to eat the vomit. At this point, she is starving to death. The vet never called today so I assume the worse. My husband wants to put her down tomorrow, but she is still enjoying life. I will see what the vet says tomorrow.
All of your answers are the best and I cannot pick just one becaue every one of them made me cry.
