It is painful to see how it can cause damage to our dogs, I also passed and the measure was an operation, I had the consequence that he died in full operation, it was a disaster for me, the pain doubled. But now rest in peace, I do not have the best words for you or a good option, what I can say is hopefully everything goes well and have a happy ending, check everything before acting!
Older dogs and large dogs seem to have trouble pulling out of anesthesia.
Me, I'd avoid the surgeries and try the meds.
Age eleven - may you have many more seasons with beautiful Rowan!Ohhh @iamsaray ... you lost our dog during an operation... how sad!
