My little beagle Lucy had surgery last week to have a mass taken off her hip and had several bad teeth removed. She's come through with flying colors and is doing better than expected. I was a bit hesitant to put her through surgery - she is a 12 year old diabetic and mostly blind but she still gets around really well. The mass was likely benign but in a bad spot and if it kept growing it was going to start causing some issues. I thought about her quality of life and she is still standing at the bedroom door every morning when I get up with her tail wagging ready to be fed and taken outside. Every chance she gets she's snuggled up next to a family member. She still gets excited and happy over the things that make beagles excited and happy. Even if I just bought her a little extra time it was worth it.
