Amazon - possible fractured femur

You're in such a horrible position. I don't know what to say (for once) other than follow your gut instinct. You and Max will be in my heart. I'm so sorry you're facing this.

I faced a similar event with our dog Tinker, who had a massive tumor in her lower jaw, which was twice removed and still grew back. She was 14 yrs old, old for her breed and each time she was in pain and her eating fell off. I had to take her to the vet to be put down, it was the humane thing to do. It was hard. But in your case Max is eating and preening and cuddling so, while he is in pan , evidently its not that much. Honestly I would let him live as long as he can without showing signs of severe pain and only consider the alternative then. With the add'l complications you listed, I would not hazard surgery.
