I've got nobody else to talk about it with, so I figured the closest thing would be to start a discussion here.
We discovered a tumor near his heart a few weeks ago. My mother is a vet, but we never noticed any symptoms until he started breathing hard. We tried surgery, but it just left him in pain and with a nasty stapled scar along his belly. Rather than let him suffer any more, my mother decided it was best we euthanize him. I've got an hour left with him.
So yeah. Blogland.
