Vet's visit

Back from the vet's and its not good news. They gave her a shot and I have tablets for her, but they will only relieve the symptons, the cause is untreatable. The 'C' word was mentioned, and her age is also against her. I'm feeling really bad, I will be bouncing off the walls by tonight because of all the coffee I have had. Perhaps I need something stronger! Its been obvious for a long time that she was getting older all the time and finding it harder to get around but when you hear the vet say the end is near its a real shake-up. It is going to be terribly hard for her mum and dad.
