Dinafem-Mark Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I'm going to need to take a few days off which I hope you can all understand. Thursday we took our boy dog the vets as he was not himself. The vet did his thing, exam, tests etc and found one of his "balls" was swollen. Was told he basically needed them off. No big deal. Over the weekend he got worse, stopped eating and went totally down bank. This morning came and he could not even walk, all will to live had gone so I carried him the vets. Sadly his kidneys and liver were failing. Down to 4% so under 3 vets recommendation, advice from another who's a close friend. We had to put my boy asleep. I know most don't think of a dog as family but we do. This was my boy who we loved and cared for from 5 weeks old when his mum was stolen. He has been through the good, the bad and the ugly with us. Always by my side with a smile in his face and a wag in his tale. His name was "Rizla" and he will be missed beyond belief. I need a few days guys to grieve, be here for my wife and get my head around this loss. I hope you can understand. Will be back as soon as I can. At the moment I can't focus and give 100% so a few days off I need to take. All the best Mark.. Edited May 8, 2018 by Dinafem-Mark 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 sorry to hear of the loss of your four legged friend mate. They really are part of the family . When I had to get mine put down I was devastated (16yrs old she was) I hope things get better, and - in time, - you can think about adding another . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
