I wish I could say or do something to help. I know the fear of losing your pup. I live with that too, tho' Thor has never collapsed. (We found his heart problem during a pre-op monitoring.) Thor also has other health issues as well.
I agree you know Riley best. Only you can decide what is best for him, even when it is not the easiest for you. In many ways all improvements they have made in veterinary medcine is such a blessing, however we, the "pet parents", also have to know when to say when. The best advice I can offer is, if it is not a decision that has to be made on the spot, to get any info the vet offers in writing and ask for a day or two do decide. That why you can review it after you leave when your are a bit less emotional and less stressed. You'll be able to process things better, and call back and get answers to questions or look things up online.
I am praying for you and Riley and sending hugs to you both!
