My second Post

Binka has an abscess on her tooth and multiple skin tumours. She's been losing weight and her head is now a funny shape.

If we fix the abscess she might live for 6 months. The skin tumours and loss of weight mean that she might just have something awful wrong that means she'll only live for a few more weeks even if we fix the abscess.

But the antibiotics don't seem to be making her any more lively and she didn't greet me at the gate after work yesterday or today. I think she's spent the day on the couch and hasn't even moved to get into the sun.

The vet wants us to decide what to do by Wednesday or Thursday.

Awww. I'm sorry to hear she's so poorly :( I was just telling A all about Binka yesterday, and how much fun it was to walk her up round Yarra Bend. Please give her a pat from me, and a hug for you and any other two-legged members of your family who need it.

Oh- you are in a horrible situation. I dread the day when l have to make this sort of decision about Sooty.
But it all comes down to the quality of life of your pet, and the fact that you have the responsibility to make the right decision on their behalf :-(

Poor Binka, and poor you too. Horrible decision to have to make.

If you decide it's time to end her life, please let me know. I'd like to come and say goodbye.

That's very sad news. Thinking of you all (especially Zil).

What a crap thing to you all! Bink is a lovely dog. My sympathy that she's poorly.
