I had to do the same thing with his sister, Molly, about 2 years ago. She got cancer as well. She got really sick, but the vet was able to remove her mass which was on her spleen, but said she might have a year because it had already spread, although at the time the smaller spots were very small, like sand. I don't think she was ever in pain, she never showed it, but one day I went to feed 'em and she had a seizure. I called the vet, and she said that if she had another one within 24 hours, that was a sign that the cancer had went to her brain. She had another one about an hour after the first and I knew what I had to do. I've still got BH. He is the other sibling and is grieving really bad also. I've had to hand feed him, he quit eating on his own....He's getting better now though. They did that when we lost Molly also. I'm really nervous about him now, the vet said I should bring him in to have him checked based on Molly and Eddies history of cancer.....That's gonna be tough taking him in. I'm kind of gun shy of the vet right now, although I know the vet does nothing but the best for the animals....It's so amazing how attached you can become to your pets. I know I do, they are like family members.
