I am heartbroken...
Jetta's testing today found probably the worst possible outcome (vets words). She has a large, most likely cancerous, and totally in-operable (think equivalent of possibly major facial reconstructive surgery for a human but on a dog) growth coming off her jawbone and growing both in and out and slowly closing her windpipe with the swelling and also affecting the flow of blood through one of the major the veins that connects to her heart valves. The vet said he's surprised she's still been able to eat and last this long, but she's been dealing with it like a champ.
The last couple weeks of anti-inflammatories has helped her with keeping the swelling down so she can breath and eat but she cannot live on them forever and the growth will get worse. Sadly, it is time to say goodbye.
So. We have one last weekend with her, we're going to go for a slow walk tomorrow and take her to the beach and let her have actual ice cream rather than just licking the bowl and sleep in the bedroom the next couple of nights and keep me awake with her snoring and have lots of cuddles.
To everyone that has helped with the vet bills we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we were blown away by the love and support from complete strangers, old friends and new and will never forget it, thank you all xxooxx

So, so very sorry to hear this news. Thinking of you and your darling girl. Sending huge hugs and love.
