Thanks for the replies. I'm still not convinced of what to do on Monday.
I saw Shadow's x-ray at the vets and he's worn away part of his bone. My vet thinks there must be some nerve damage so he's not feeling the pain as she can't find another reason as to why he's still bright and eating etc.
Unfortunately the bone can't be left so Monday really is decision day.
At the moment I'm leaning more towards trying the operation because if it doesn't work then the result will be the same as opting to pts straight away.
My doubts are he's old for a conti and I'm really worried he'll wake up in pain and panic and not be able to recover so then his last days alive will be bad rather than happy.
It's too hard
