Deep enough back in the nose that they had trouble doing the biopsy, but it came back malignant. They noticed something wrong when she started acting erratically, then would have sneezing fits that shot blood everywhere. Poor pooch.

He took her in for the testing the Friday before last, and got the results first thing this morning right after he came into work. He understandably had to step outside for a while. He doesn't want to follow through with chemo or radiation because he did that with another dog and the quality of life went straight to hell.

FWIW my last dog was diagnosed with a melanoma on his nose around age 6 and lived to be almost 11 via radiation therapy + a 'vaccine' built specific to his cancer.

That's quite the pull through. Not sure if he'll even want to do a consult, maybe his wife will talk him into at least seeing what the options are. She isn't my pupper though, and if he really had that negative an experience with cancer treatment before I don't blame him for being extremely hesitant.

Shitty news all around either way. 2020 ain't over yet

that's a huge factor when it comes to a dog. if they're going to be unhappy it's not worth keeping em alive.
though there will be a period of grieving before another pet is gotten.

had a cat that got to 10 before the abdominal cancer got bad. i couldn't let her suffer anymore. the time option would've bought a few weeks then seeing her blow up again.
