One of my dogs is dying :(

[dfagdfsh]

we think she caught some sort of bacterial infection. at this point it's gone to her brain, and there's nothing we can do =/

Terrible to hear; I hope that she somehow pulls through.

my dad is running her to an emergency vet now, but honestly shes so old (between 13-15) really can't hope for much

So sorry to hear this.

She probably had a good life and saw some serious snow as a last memory.

Sorry to hear this Teger ... I know how difficult this can be. A dog really can be a part of the family.

yea I'm upset but I know she's had a great life. we got her when she was about 2 years old as a stray off a street, and she rewarded us with 11 years as an awesome friend. its just kind of shocking because in terms of our old dogs (another 12, another 16) she was in the 'best' shape, but I guess at her age her immune system isn't really up to the task of fighting something bad off.. so she deteriorated so rapidly

Lost mine a few years ago. Hardest thing I've ever had to endure. I feel for you, man. Btw our vet gave us this book when it happened: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/r...5?a=0590417010 it's sad as **** and comforting at the same time.

It sounds like she hasn't had to suffer long, which is good. I've been through this, and know how painful such a loss can be. All the best...

 

[dfagdfsh]

thanks for al lthe well wishes.

 

[globetrotter]
