I hate to say this because i am an animal lover myself, you should have him put down, for he dont have to suffer. I know it’s hard to do but them dogs life spand aint but 10 to 12 years or less. But do what you think, thats what id to. Id hate to have him put to sleep but it would be for his best.

A Mast Cell type III cancer is the most aggressive type in cancers, and it kills quickly.
Sadly the meds given are just prolonging his suffering, although it won’t be by much.
It’s very hard to lose a loved one, unbearable at times. He’ll let you know when the times comes, and although you may think it’s impossible right now, you’ll be at peace then, because you’ll know he’s no longer suffering.
Far too many animals have no one to care for them, unlike yours. Thanks for caring!
