(part two, read below first...)
Jersey fought for about a month, the tumor growing down into her mouth, invading her sinus, and then threatening to take over the eye before we made the decision to put her down. Even the day we took her to the vet, she was wagging her tail and seemed happy. But she had stopped taking food, and we knew the tumor had to be very painful at that point. Jersey was almost 10 years old, which was pretty old for a Dane, so we were lucky to have a nice, long life with her.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing Kassa's story, and info on bone cancer of the jaw. It helped us cope with what we were going through. : )
