Best of luck at the vet. I understand what you're going through. We put our sixteen year old dog down a few months ago. Our other dog turns 17 (!) next week. For old dogs, a trip to the vet is usually a worrisome, expensive, and depressing affair.
Here's hoping your vet can address the problem without being too invasive.
