Tough break, I hope he comes around quickly. Has he been diagnosed yet ???
I lost my 15 year old Lab, mostly old age and a big tumor in his shoulder, then his daughter the next year. She was only 8 died of Lepto, nasty disease for dogs, common in Labs or water dogs. We fought it with her for about a year she would get better and then have a relaps, each time getting worse.
I'll never own another dog again, can't take the heartache of loosing them. All my dogs lived to an old age except for the one above and were truly my best friends, she was the last one, there will be no others.
I'm so sorry...I lost my best friend of 14 years this week. It took me 3 days to take his food bowl off the floor. It is amazing how much a dog becomes part of the family. My wife and I will say a prayer for your little guy.
My most recent black lab has been gone for 4 years. His picture still sits front and center, with the kids, in the living room. My thoughts are with you and your family. Good luck
Sorry to hear the news. Keep your chin up an hope for the best.
Like John S. when we lost our last one we decided we did not want to go through that again. It is tough!
Hey Fishlessman, my radio buddy from my favorite lake. I also had a dog that I lost to kidney failure same as your dog came on without any type of warning. The only thing I could get my dog to eat was Hamburg mixed with boil in a bag rice (my vet told me to give her this) Hope it works out and she gets better Been there twice and I know it's coming within the next year or so with the beagle I have now and it bugs the crap out of me. Will be thinking of ya and keeping you and your pup in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care God Bless LOL Dave
after a week without food got him to eat some steak yesterday, fired up some more today and had to force him to eat it. my last dog died of kidney failure but he was 18, knew it was coming, this one is just turning 10 on thursday, way too soon.meds he is on also suppresses appetite which may be doubleing the eating problem. going to have to make the decision one way or the other within the next few days. kidney failure, glomerulonephritis, and blood pressure 100 percent higher than normal, came on like someone flicking a switch
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, I've had to make that decision twice in my life so far, and it is not an easy decision to make, The only good thing is knowing that we have given our beloved animal one more action of love but helping to end their suffering. Thinking of ya buddy, Take Care God Bless LOL Dave P.S. The hamburg and rice can be given to the dog warm but not directly off of the stove after being cooked
