Would you spend this kind of money on your elderly pet?

Recently, my 16 year old cocker spaniel’s health took a turn for the worst. $2,600 later, we still don’t have a complete diagnosis. We did an MRI to scan the brain for tumors, and or stroke. Now we are being told that the dog is anemic and needs an ultra sound of his stomach to see what is causing diarrhea and anemia.

Is it common for old dogs to get anemia? How many of you would spend $300-$600 to get an ultra sound? Any thoughts
