Both of these things are incurable, so I had to make a decision. Should I put her down right then or put her on anti-inflammatory, melatonin and some other medication to possible ease her symptoms and possibly increase her quality life span by a few weeks? I chose the second, not knowing if she would respond to the medications. I still have to get the melatonin, and figure out where to get it, but she has had 2 doses of the medications so far and doesn't seem to be getting worse. When she does show signs of getting worse over the next few weeks, we'll make an appointment and say goodbye, but for now my goal is to keep giving her good mixes of wet foods, medications, and let her run around my room as much as she wants. I know she'll only be able to have an enjoyable life for a month at the most, so I'll be ready to say goodbye so that she doesn't suffer.</blockquote>
