I'm taking my dog to the vet at 1:00, I know he has something serious wrong going on. He's almost 9 yrs old and has been the best dog I could ever imagine. Just his being around helped me through my divorce and a number of other rough times. His personality is just unreal and I know I'll never be able to find another dog that'll be able to come close to him.

He's always been so lively and happy up until a couple of weeks ago. He's got arthritis so I thought he was just slowing down because of the cold. I got him glucosamine and it didn't really do much. This weekend, he started walking like his left rear leg wasn't working well. Sunday I noticed his whole leg was swollen and felt warm. The vet couldn't get us in until today and I'm just really afraid I'm going to get the worst news possible. Fucking kid, I love him so much. I just want him to be ok.
 
My s.o. just called and he can't walk. He tried to go downstairs when she was away from him and he fell halfway down them. He's out on the front lawn now on a blanket and he's hardly breathing. I'm going to go be with him.

Fuck, I'm so sad. I keep welling up.
 
Fuck bro, I hope all works out well.

I got 2 dogs and dont know what I would do if I found myself in a similar situation.
 
My beautiful dog of 13 years did that sometime back. When they stop walking, they start littering everywhere and are pretty damn scared of what's happening. It may not seem like it but the most gracious thing is to let him rest down and the most painless way is through the vets. Get them to come to your house so he can be buried at home in the garden.

I'm sorry Jnevin (it's weird typin a serious message to a ID). I hope you get by alright. Time is the world's best weapon. It heals everything.

Thanks man. I know I'm going to have to put him down. I somehow knew it Sunday when he hardly acknowledged me walking in the door. He's loved me unconditionally for almost 9 years. There's no way I could make him suffer just so I can have him with me.

so sorry bro. He sounds pretty bad, but I hope for the best. Maybe there's something the vet can find, maybe just an infection and with some antibiotics he'll be ok. With everything going on this is stress you don't need. Sorry man.
 
This is tough bor. I am really sorry for you and your friend. I hope everything works out for the best.
 
I have never had a dog, and I know I missed out totally, cause now they are even having dogs bond with inmates in order to teach the inmates... -like you can teach this, I guess, train would be a better word or condition- Anyway, so much love, empathy, and just awesome vibes come from having a good dog. Studies show having a pet significantly increases quality, and if I remember right, longevity as well. I feel for ya Jnev. Damn dude, I hope he'll be allright. Good luck my friend.
 
have the vet check your dog for Lime exposure bro

same thing happened to my little boston terrier, limping, looking sick, not eating, EVERYTHING you described.

Have them test for lime and get him on anti-biotics right away and hopefully he'll be alright

get a second opinion if needed

trust me

I'm prayin for you bro
 
lol

What kind is that?

Pekingese... my dog was sick when i first got him, he was 3 weeks old, and had some kind of skin disease and some other illness, spent close to a g after all said and done, the vets know what they are doing bro... g luck
 
That sucks bro....I have a 7 year old Boxer and his hind leg has been hurting him for awhile....doc said it is either hip dysplasia or arthritis...and that big dogs like him(he's 100lbs) have too much weight to be carried around on small hips so they eventually wear out.

I put him on the glucosamine chondroitin supplements and it seemed to help...still favors the leg alittle bit but doesnt seem to be in pain. I've had him since he was a baby and I will be devastated when/if I ever have to put him down....i dont know if I could even do it.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I think I may have to put him down this weekend. He's in so much pain he can hardly move and he's been whimpering a lot. We got to the vet and they went through the normal exam and aside from the obvious, he's fine. No fever, strong heartbeat, etc. He examined the trouble leg and was at first thinking infection, but since he has no fever, it's unlikely. His front leg started to give today too and the vet said we should prepare ourselves for the worst. I guess the type of cancer the vet thinks it may be originates in areas like the limbs but will refer pain all over the body. He aspirated the growth and checked the cells under his scope and had good and bad news. He said there was a good amount of puss which is good because infection is treatable. He also said there were a number of cells that could be cancer. He's sending out the samples tonight and I should know by Saturday at the latest. No matter what happens if his quality of life doesn't vastly improve I'll put him down. He doesn't deserve to live like this just so I can have him with me. And yeah, I cried like i was an infant.
 
i'm sorry jnev.
i've been a dog owner my whole life (i've had 2 dogs and 2 cats for years now) and they are part of my family. I can't read this thread at all, or i'll cry for you and for all my pets i've had to put down.

(hug)
 
Oh man, I'm still holding out though!

You have to be strong and hope for the best

get well doggie

The vet gave me some pain meds and antibiotics for him. Hopefully in a couple of days we'll see marked improvement and get good news from the lab.
 
I'm staying positive

everything is 50/50 at this point


just be there for him(I know u already are)

man that does suck. i have lost a couple. i hope everything is ok. i had a 220lb rotti that was old and had bad authritis. we got him for free as a puppy because he had a defect in his back knees that required an expensive surgery. that and the fact that he was verry large (not fat) made his authritis problem bad to the point that he couldnt get up without crying. i asked a vet if i tried tylenol authritis that i buy from the drug store would hurt him. being the jew that she was told me that it wouldnt hurt him but it couldnt possibly be as good as the vet meds she was selling me for 130.00 per month. so i tried the tylenol and it worked so much better i couldnt freaking believe it that 10yr old dog was like a puppy again playing with the pug and cat. so if it is authritis i would try asking about that and dosage.
 
He's not going to make it. He won't drink anything, wouldn't even eat a piece of provolone, which is the only people food I'd ever give him, and he won't pick his head up. His front left leg has started to swell too which means it's spreading. I had to carry him outside this morning to go to the bathroom. I had to hold him up at the tree he always marks. I'll give him until Friday to improve and I'll put him down. He doesn't deserve this pain after how good he has been.
 
OH god...my heart breaks for you...it really does. One barely has to pay attention to know how much you love that dog, and how close the two of you bonded. This is nothing less than losing a close family member. It makes my heart hurt to think about how you must feel.

I can't imagine what it's got to be like for someone to lose a parent, spouse, or god forbid, a child to this. Cancer took my great grandmother but I didn't really know her and was too young to really grasp how devastating it was. Dealing with this feels harder than when I got divorced.
 
may he die a peaceful death.
on the bright side, now you can get a puppy that can grow up with your daughter.
that creates a helluva bond for her and will give her some awesome memories

I don't think I'll want another dog for a while. You go into pet ownership knowing you'll outlive the animal. When this happens it's just devastating. I hadn't owned a pet since I was in 4th grade, so I was pretty far removed from the feelings of losing her. It's my own fault in a way for humanizing him so much. Sometimes I'd just stand there bullshitting with him while I was cooking and he'd sit there listening to me, cocking his head when he'd maybe recognize some words. I had thought about rescuing a dobie from a rescue organization here, but I don't want to have to completely retrain a mature dog and I don't have the time or patience to train a puppy right now. I've got enough on my plate.

i've heard of a network that distributes old police dogs, after they've been decommossioned...that'd be the way to go, awesome training and good with people,right off the bat.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dog.
I know what it's like to put down an animal and it is never easy.
 
edema in the extremeties? But the vet said his heart was fine, right?

He said his heartbeat was still normal and he didn't have a fever. He's been shedding like crazy and has a ton of dander, which he's never had. I can't get him to eat anything other than a slice of cheese, and I've been giving him water with a squirt bottle. I really hope to see some kind of improvement in a day or so because I won't let him suffer like this.
 
oh no. shit man...i'm really sorry.

Hannibal was like your son :(

don't really know what else to say. i know you're hurting

It's the toughest thing I think I've gone through. Worse that getting divorced because at least I was mad at her. I slept on the floor next to him last night and he kept whimpering in his sleep. His appetite came back a little today and he was picking his head up. A fire truck went by with its siren wailing and he sang to it, which seems positive. What sucks is the swelling is getting worse in his front leg that didn't have anything wrong a week ago.
 
Wow If you need some one to talk to bro you got my # I will pray for the big fella

fuck man, so sorry to read that. my cat is getting old, and i don't even want to imagine how you feel. i'll wish and pray the best for your dog.

Thanks man. The worst part is these past couple of days waiting to find out if there's a chance he'll be ok. I'd rather just end his suffering, but if it's treatable I'll do anything I can for him.

I know what you mean. Clyde the Cat, the kitten in my avatar, is fourteen years old, and sometimes I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. He's still healthy and playful, but he's slowing down a bit and doesn't spend as much time outdoors as he used to.

That's how Hannibal got, but when it started it just progressed so fast.
 
Shit I am sorry to hear this Jnev. It always seem to kill most when we are left with the choice.
I hope that there is something that they can do for him so as though you don't get left with the decision.
 
Holy shit. Just got off the phone with the guy from the lab. I guess he has some huge staph infection that has spread through his body. No cancer thank god. It's treatable, but it'll be pretty hard on him. I was prepared for the worst because they had me bring him back in last night and a different vet looked at him and said it seemed like lymphoma because a lot of his lymph glands were extremely swollen. It was kind of funny because I asked the vet if it was possible they were swollen because they were producing so much extra lymph to wash whatever was in his legs out because I had something like that happen in one of my legs. She asked what happened to me and I said "oh nothing. just something stupid." She kind of pressed it and I said "I'm 5'9, 220 lbs, and don't have that much fat..." She got it after that.

Anyhoo, looks like he's going to be ok. Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. It helped more than you might think.

Great news to start the weekend.

I've got the biggest shit eating grin going on right now.

excellent bro, truly. How about stopping by the butcher on the way home and picking up a big ass bone for him....
 
I hope the little guy can bounce back quickly, and give you many more years of faithful companionship.

I TOLD YOU !
Good news bro, relief
 
What about you Jnev, are U dead yet?

Unfortunately not. My boy isn't out of the woods yet. He's leaking lymph and blood out of the spot where they did the biopsy. The vet doesn't know if it's a spreadable strain yet so I need to keep him quarantined until Monday. Poor guy. I've gone through a shitload of lysol.
 
Fuck man hope he's ok, that was an insane thread to read through..

Depression to joy.. ugh!

He'll make it man stay posotive, sounds like an incredible dog bro.
