What to do about Buddy? I didn’t have a satisfactory experience with the specialist near home when I saw them about Buddy’s luxating patellar, some time ago. I’m not really sure that they don’t put earning a dollar before the care of the animals they see. I really don’t know if we would be going down the chemotherapy route with Buddy considering his age. I wasn’t really sure why I was even taking Buddy to them? We didn’t really know what we were going to do.
What to do? Did it make sense to spend thousands on chemotherapy, if he was in his final years? Oh, did it feel like we were letting him down if we didn’t? Bulldogs average life expectancy was around 10 years old and Buddy will be 11 very soon.
But, he was Buddy.
So, I called my vet and spoke to them. I said I didn’t really know what to do? The receptionist was very sympathetic, as she’d had a dog with lymphoma some time ago. She thought that they usually take a biopsy for detection of lymphoma. She went to talk to their senior vet.
I made an appointment with my vet for a blood test for Buddy at 10am tomorrow.
