Answer

Hi Erica,

It's sad but true, there comes a point where you really can't do anything more in the way of treatments. At that point, you need to think of keeping your dog as comfortable as possible, and to ease it's suffering.

This is the hardest part of pet ownership.

Best of luck to your entire family during these difficult times.
