We took our dog to this vet with a condition where his chest was filling up with fluid. After multiple visits, several scans, and drainage of the fluid, we were told that the dog might live through the weekend based upon a growth in his chest that was pushing on his heart. They offered us the option of putting him down immediately, or taking him home to ""say goodbye"" for his final weekend of life. We opted for the ""goodbye weekend."" That weekend turned into a week, and then two weeks, and then a month.
