Max: Euthanasia or Not?

So here's an update on Max. My father says he believes he [the black and white adult labrador-collie] is stabilising. He says he has taken him off the cortizone (for pain) treatment. He is still continuing to administer 2 x half tablets a day (Rydal).

He told me the scans didn't bring up anything like tumors. He must be suffering from some kind of degenerative disease to the spine, associated with rheumatism. And he says it seems not to be getting any worse.

The bleeding feet have developed callouses (these were also being treated with some kind of mercurochrome type substance.

So based on this 'stabilising impression' Max gets to die another day.
