When she was x-rayed, the vets (husband and wife team, they’ve both seen her) said there was an irregular mass in the brain. No other radiopaque masses seen anywhere, and she seems in good health other than the seizures, blindness, and the behaviors I mentioned.
Their statement was that brain tumors are not all that uncommon in minpins; when I first took her in for seizures, a month or so before the x-ray, they said that brain tumor was the commonest cause for onset of seizures in dog 14 yo.
There’s no local place to take her for radiation, and after seeing my husband die from cancer after so-called palliative chemo and radiation, I don’t think I would have it done.
I’ve pretty much decided to keep her at home, do anything I can for her comfort, for the next couple of weeks until the family comes back. If she is still alive then, I’ll likely take her in, and hold her in my arms while she gets the shot. Meanwhile, I’m praying she goes in her sleep.
Thank you for your advice, I really value everything everyone has posted. It is what it is. *sigh*
