That is an excellent dog.
Thanks, he's a great guy. 9 year old Vizsla named Hemingway. He's a gifted writer, but proned to bouts of severe alcoholism, depression and bone infections.
To answer your question from another thread: He's not doing that well. It turns out that it is bone cancer. Later this afternoon we take him in to get a chest x-ray and see if it has spread. There are three potential courses of action: 1. It's spread too much, do nothing and make him comfortable 2. It's still localized and hasn't spread: Amputate his leg and make him comfortable 3. Amputate his leg, give him chemotherapy and radiation -None of the options are good. I really don't want to have to amputate his leg, but if it will help him live longer, I will. The key is whether he can live longer and not be in pain. If he will be in pain, I will have to put him down. Thanks for asking.
I'm very sorry to hear that. I have some idea of how distressing the whole situation must be. Whatever the results I have no doubt he'll be overwhelmed with love and kindness in the days to come, which is the most important thing for him. Thank you for replying.
