This morning I woke up saw my dog put some food in her bowl but she did not get up I was like whatever she probably is not hungry a couple hours go buy and she still has not gotten up all day for food water or anything so im like thats weird but I dont do anything 30 minutes roll by and I hear my dog crying I go over around the corner and see she is trying to get up but can only stand up with her front 2 legs so I took her to the vet and they say she has cancer and I ask so what should I do and they say well you could get a surgery to fix it but that will put her in a lot of pain and I said I dont think I want to go that way then I ask is there another option and he says yes you can wait a few months or until you notice she is not eating or drinking water and you can put her down. I could not make my mind up so I said I will go home and think and call back. She is my first dog/pet I have ever had and I dont want to loose her but I dont want her to suffer in pain. What should I do?

Dont flame this!
