Following my conversation with my vet tonight following Talisker's operation today, I have just been to the surgery and he has been PTS.
The vet and I agreed that it was the right thing to do - even if the biopsies had come back negative, the likelihood of him making a good recovery from such bad IBS was very slim. I just didnt want him to suffer, he was an elderly dog and I just didnt feel it was fair.
I hope you dont think less of me for this decision, it was one I made for Talisker's sake not for mine, and it was a very very hard decision to make. I loved him so much.
