Dog has cancer

[CyberB0b]

We had two dogs die of cancer. We had them both put down at home when they got bad. I'd recommend doing that. Both got to go out eating rotisserie chicken and ice cream.

We found a place to do that. We need to get her home tomorrow from hospital and hopefully have more than a few hours. Pets are our children. My pup will have as much peanut butter as she wants. Until she’s in heaven. I’m sorry for your losses God bless

My baby of 9 and 1/2 years just got diagnosed with bladder cancer she has only a few days left. I don’t know what I’m even doing right now. My wife and I have no kids yet. She was with me since she was 12 weeks old. She was a brindle and white puppy and had little freckles on her face where the brindle and white meet. Her name is Dallas and I didn’t name her it was her name when I got her. Meant to be. These next few days will be the hard to say the least. She and our other dog are our world. Thanks for letting me vent

I almost didn’t click on this based on the title because I knew it would be depressing.

I have no words man, sorry to hear this. I’ve become a huge animal softy in my older years and losing a best friend is the second hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. They’re loyal and always there for you. Every time you come home their mug is there to greet you. I lost my cat of 20 years ~2 years ago and I still miss the little guy.

All I can say is that the pain will eventually get better and now you have the chance to save another animals life. When you start feeling better, go to a non kill animal shelter and adopt another best friend. You can never replace the one you lost but will find another pet to love just as much and it will love you even more.

Best wishes man, that sucks.

Why a non kill shelter? Wouldn't it be better to save one from being unnecessarily put down?

It'll be hard, but when it's over you'll only remember the good things hopefully sooner than later. Get her cremated, get a custom painted urn or box or whatever you want with her picture on it.

Growing up I had an american staffy that ended up with a tumor in her nose and while it got so bad she enjoyed most of her final days. Had to put her down eventually as it was making it too hard for her to breathe. Recently we had to put down another american staffy as she was a few years older than the last, but she had zero strength in her hip and shoulders, was also getting tumors around her back, would randomly get shivers and it just felt like she was scared or maybe she knew things were bad. Had to put her down and couldn't stop thinking about it forever it seemed, but now it's all great memories. Best dogs in the world. Hope for the best for you.

Dogs are the only family members that never have an unkind word on their lips. They are the best family I've ever had and my heart grieves for you. I lost my last baby April 27, 2020. They had to do it at my car due to the virus. Needless to say, I had the entire parking lot in tears along with me. I can't talk about it any more without crying again. Not everyone gets it, but they are truly wonderful family members.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

The Rainbow Bridge may be the only thing that saves me from getting a whooping when I get to Heaven. The first faces I want to see will all have four legs. I'll look like Moses crossing the Red Sea with the Hebrews considering my many critters.

If you could get 6-9 months with your best friend aka baby puppy would you if there was a chance with a good quality of life possible?

 

[Bizwah]

My heart goes out to ctrous. Dogs are family. We can learn a lot from them, especially how to love unconditionally.

We got our dog from a shelter 10 years ago. I know his day will come soon. We had to remove one of his eyes last year due to cataracts, and he's moving slower and slower now. He still shows up at the door everyday I come home from work wagging that tail.

Hearing these stories.....makes my eyes sweat a bit.

On my shepherd's 10th birthday, the vet told me he had a large tumor on his stomach. He said he could operate, but there was only about a 10% chance he'd live another couple of years. I took the chance, and it turned out he actually had a spleen torsion, and when the vet took out his spleen, he was good as newish. Unfortunately, his autoimmune disease got him two years later, but it was worth the $2000 to me.

*COPY* friend, while my advice is free, please pay heed, what you really should do is drop the $75 to $150 bucks it costs to have you're local mobile pets " dignity in death" windowless white van show up & administer that final nappy-nappy sleepy time shot,,, tho ,,, only if it's of an "non-Asian" owner/ operator franchise. ( as they lay claim to cremating them after hauling them off,,, but, concerning my opined view of others culinary tastes? I wouldn't utilize their services if say?,,, the driver was a Chinaman,,,just saying)

I’m looking at $6-7 k and I don’t have it but could get it. I honestly don’t care about the money. I just love my baby

Why a non kill shelter? Wouldn't it be better to save one from being unnecessarily put down?

Yeah, I can see it both ways. I like to support the places that don’t kill but I see your point. I got nothing.

How about just adopt a furry friend?

If I thought adopting only from non kill shelters would put the others out of business or make them change to non kill, I'd say Hell yeah, do that! Unfortunately...

I get that... I spent a fortune on my Mini-Aussie after he lost his front right leg in an accident...

Unfortunately he is 13 now, and that single front leg has developed severe arthritis. He falls a good bit, so I can feel what you're going through as I will face the same thing this year sometime...

I'm sorry for you as well.

I kinda relate to how you are feeling. A couple weeks ago, our dog and our neighbors dog disappeared. Nobody has seen them and nobody has any ideal about what happened to them. Our dog was a Great Pyrenees mix and everybody in our community kept treats for her and some even let her in their houses so that they could play with her. Maybe somebody picked her up, but it is unusual for two dogs to be stolen at the same time. My neighbor’s dog was a Blur Heeler.

It seems even more unusual for two dogs to run off and not come back. Do you have coyotes near you?

 

[John813]

My condolences.

My current dog has melanoma. 9.5 years old too. Too early to say how bad as we just found out last week.

It's never easy losing a pet. Buried quite a few and it's never easy.

Yes, these are some big dogs though. I don’t know if coyotes would take them on or not.
