Did I make the right choice for my dog with a suspected tumor?

Question

My Dr was confident my dog had colon/ rectal cancer. We didn't do a fine Needle. Dog was pretty bad. Review attached please. Another Dr here agreed there was a mass. I was told he wouldn't have lost 40 lbs in a year and keep an infection that long. I want to make sure I did the right thing. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 8 years and 10 months old | 108 lbs

I am very sorry to hear about your loss of Jake. Based on this information, I believe you made the kindest and most humane decision to let Jake go, as this information all supports a diagnosis of an invasive tumor in a region not amenable to treatment.
