Blue Pit's question about Chondrosarcoma (Tumors of the Larynx and Trachea)

Question

We had to decide whether to put our dog to sleep or have a permanent tracheostomyery because x-rays showed he had a tumor on his larynx. He couldn't breath and we had no time to find out what kind of a tumor it was so it was a quick decision. We put him to sleep. Did we make the right decision?

Accepted Answer

It is normal to have questions like this after the loss of a loved one, especially when you were given options you’ll always question your actions; however, I cannot say for certain whether or not you made the right decision but given the circumstances and the breathing difficulties Brewskie was having it was the humane decision.
