Your friend has made the right decision. I would have done the same. I have Scottish Terriers. They are 18X more likely to develop TCC than other breeds.

Not sure what the vet will see, but we will not extend her suffering if we get bad news. I don't think her time is upon us though.

Thank you for the support and prayers. I will pass this along to my friend. I think when going through this kind of stuff, it's helpful to have friends who really understand or have gone through it. They are tough decisions to make. This is the worst part of loving these furry creatures.
I'm grateful that my husband and I had the opportunity to go see her and say our good-byes.
Maybe it sounds odd to be that involved with a friend's dogs. But most of our closest friends are dog ppl with the same mind set as us, and I can't help caring about their pups.
