Dogs Are The Damn Best

[Erich]

This is Blaise. Blaise's farts are the closest to sepsis I will ever smell. Here he is with a robber bong toy.

I’m sorry bud, it’s always incredibly sad and it’s a shame we don’t get more years with them. The joy and love that they give us, and we give them makes it all worth it though.

Well said. Sorry for your loss, Twostep.

[Spell On Me]

Sorry for your loss.

[redsox14]

So sorry to hear that. Its the absolute worst.

[TwoStep2888]

I appreciate the condolences, I love our community here, Miles was a real special guy and I'll miss him forever

[bowa36]

Hey TwoStep2888, I'm really sorry for your loss. I'm sure you gave him a wonderful life.

My dog’s health is rapidly deteriorating (unexpectedly). And at a rate fast enough to where I don’t even know if we’ll be able to diagnose what he has before we lose him. And my heart feels like it’s shattering in real time while I watch him struggle.

Damn, I'm so sorry to read this about Miles.
We did the same for our last dog, there was nothing he couldn't have

Wishing the best for you… hopefully your vet (or emergency vet) can get you some answers ASAP.

One of our dogs was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. In between the time she got the diagnosis (which was done by removal of one of her lymph nodes), she declined so fast that I almost cancelled an appt with an oncologist. I just assumed we were down to days, maybe a week or 2 at most and didn’t want to waste that time traveling 3 hours. My kid was actually the one that talked me into keeping it… so glad she did. 5 weeks later after of various chemo treatments (14 more to go) and she’s back to her old self again. Maybe even more feisty than she was!

I never thought I’d put a dog through chemo… assumed that quality of life would come into play. But apparently with a lower dosage they don’t get the same severe side effects as humans. So that pretty much sealed the deal… if she wasn’t going to be spending her last days sicker than she was, she deserved to have us try to do what we could. She’s had a tough life… severely overweight when we adopted her and could barely walk a few feet without getting winded. She was just getting into ‘normal dog’ life (lots of ball chasing, long walks, etc.) when we got the diagnosis.

I know her time is still short with lymphoma b/c chemo won’t ‘cure’ it… but hopefully put it in remission for a while. I just look at every day with her as a gift. So no matter how many are left, I’ll be outside throwing balls for as long as she wants to chase em.

Thanks man! Yeah… she put in so much work to lose the weight (45 lbs!!!) it just felt so unfair for her to have to go through this. Seems we got lucky and caught it early though. Most people don’t find out until it’s too late b/c dogs don’t always show signs until they are very close to the end. I just happened to notice her lymph nodes were swollen… something I wouldn’t have felt if she hadn’t lost the weight.
