Johnson Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Hello, my female husky is around 16 1/2 years old, still active but been to the vets last week and has a tumor on her mammary glad that has burst. Vets say that she needs to be operated on, but in my opinion she is far too old for an operation. I don't want to let her go but the vets say if she's not operated on she will get sepsis. Do you think she is too old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I think this is a decision only you can make - as only you really know just how fit your dog is to face such an op. Whilst your dog is at a really good age for modern standards - she may be one of the dogs that could live until her mid 20's. Personally I would not give up on a dog until she/he told me to.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Your vets will know best , if shes otherwise healthy then maybe it's worth the risk if not then kindest thing to do would be let her pass pain free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
