I have a 14 year old border collie, her name is Molly. I found out from the vet recently she has a tumor, most likely from her jaw bone or possibly her thyroid. There's nothing they can do. Right now she isn't in pain, but I don't know how long it'll last. My dad (she lives with them, can't have dogs where I live currently) just called me in the phone saying she's fairing worse, talking about putting her down.
What do I do?

If her condition has deteriorated and her QOL is poor, then give her a peaceful, humane death.
Just ask your folks to wait for you so you can say goodbye, and be with her when she goes to sleep.

I'm not going to argue that her condition is fine and qol is good, but she isn't in any pain. At what point du you let go?
Anyone here have experience with this?

Damn, pretty sure her score would be over 35.

I have a 16 year-old collie. He was paraplegic from his waist down because of a lesion on his spine. That was two years ago. He's still kicking.
Collies live a long time. They have the world record life-expectancy. Don't give up on your dog if you can afford to be with them, but if you're away for school and don't have the luxury of being at home with them like a NEET such as myself, then of course, I would examine just how well she's doing and place yourself in her shoes.
