I walk him 3 times a day and gives him a bath EVERY day. I have only known max for a few years and Im glad I can start to take care of him but he has already passed the avg life span of a dog and all of his issues I dont see him living for 6 more months. The cancer has ate away at him, he used to be 205, now more like 175.
That's a little bit of a different story than the pics painted and more understandable. Props for taking over a very difficult job of nursing a sick dog back to health.

One piece of advice from someone that had to put down their favorite dog due to cancer as well after 16 yrs......don't prolong his agony for the sake of your own. I knew my girl was not well, but I thought I could nurse her back to life. In retrospect, I probably just made her suffer longer. Would I do it differently? Hard to say if I was as attached to him/her as I was to Christine. I'm just telling you from experience that sometimes, even with all the best intentions, we prolong the inevitable unnecessarily. Be mindful of that. If the dog seems happy and content, go for it. Help him as much as you can. But if the dog seems like he wants you to let him go, let him go as painless as possible. Loyal animals are owed infinitely more than that.
