Horrible turn of events for our poor girl. It breaks my heart to write this. We were struggling with some pain management and yesterday there was lots of heavy breathing and panting even with extra meds on board. We reached out to the vet and they had some lab results that were not good. Turns out she has osteosarcoma within her peripheral nerve, very rear that it be in the nerve. They said the cancer would be fast spreading and we would have very little time (maybe a week, a few months with extreme interventions to manage her pain). We made the heartbreaking decision to put her down before she was in more pain.  She was already struggling and we could not watch her suffer knowing things would only get worse. She didn’t deserve this. She has been by my side every day for 7 years (she was a trained service dog that provided comfort for crime victims I worked with, and brighter the day of many first responders). She was the best and softest girl. Our hearts are broken.
