More bad news.....

Well Jack went to the vet today to possibly have a few small growths removed. I took him to his "regular" vet on Friday because I was concerned about his limping and that he seemed to be limping on his right front leg too. The vet couldn't find anything obvious wrong but did suggest possibly removing the small growths with just a local so that they would not get large and ulcer. After speaking to the vet that would be doing the surgery and the vet that ultimately diagnosed him I decided to not remove anything but to ok x-rays to see what was going on with his leg and lungs. While his lungs came back clear, his right rear leg is showing signs that the cancer has spread there. We now have to face the hard, cold fact that he doesn't have long. We are now at the point of making sure we control his pain and continue to keep his quality of life up. Once either of those suffer we will then have to make the hardest decision a pet owner makes. For now we will shower him with treats, play and love.
