I sadly went through this last December with my 14 year old dog. We worked through with the vet "what would the treatment be if" scenarios and instead of going through all the tests to prove it, we invested in the most likely treatment. She was hospitalized and treated, but worsened each day. I don't regret my decision. I also had my one year old come up lame last year and after an examination and x-rays by my vet decided on a chiropractic (actually accupuncture) treatment and that did wonders for him.

My thoughts are with you, whatever decision you make it is the right one. You love your baby and your heart and soul is in this decision. No dog could ask for more than that.
