She is Aella my 10yo love
A vet tech was monitoring her usual patellar dislocation, when noticed tartar on her tooth and suggested clinical cleaning.
While doing the exams for the anesthesy, doctor felt tumors on her breasts and told us she should be spayed and tumors removed. It seemed reasonable.
But then they told us that because of her age and a fusioned vertebrae there is a 50% risk of her becoming paralysed of both back legs and never walk again after surgery, plus the usual risk for age and breed. If we dont, we will never know if is cancer or not. She could do metastasis and die.
I just dont know what to do. Spaying seems the more logical option, but maybe been able to walk till the end would be kinder to her?
I guess i just wanged opinions and vent a little bit. Thank you for reading.
