Wow, I'm so sorry. Hopefully she's comfortable. Are the surgical options realistic?

How can you tell she is in pain? I am a fairly new tort owner (9 mos) and haven't dealt with that yet.

Note: This is not meant to be insensitive. Hopefully it doesn't come across as such.

Sorry to hear this Dave. It doesn't sound good. At least you got a diagnosis. Don't spend a fortune clutching at straws. Through no fault of yours, her time may just be up.
