Please pray for my dog

[LakeAriel]

My brother is going through this day by day waiting with his lab..cancer also. I am so sorry! My own Golden is near 14 and she is part of my family..I hope the end is peaceful and please give her an extra hug..

I'm so sorry. Those with no pets will never understand the deep bond and love that we feel for our babies.

I know this is one of the hardest decisions, my thoughts & prayers are with you.

Awwww poor Maggie. I'm sorry Tim. I'm sure she feels your love and is comforted and will go peacefully.

 

[Crankyshank]

Good thoughts for you and for Maggie

I am sorry about your dog. It is really hard to be losing a pet - I know mine are just like children to me.

 

[SillyMe]

I'm sorry, Tim.

I have this creepy leprechaun doll that dances around and sings a song (my grandmother got it for me). Well I hit the button and it did its thing...and Maggie dragged her self out of bed and knocked it down with her paw..it was really cute. It made me cry especially after reading this thread. Thank you everyone. It's nice to have somewhere to turn.

I know exactly how you feel...I have an old dog and 2 weeks ago I thought 'this is it' too. With MANY more meds she is making it along..but every day, I think how many more?

It's heartbreaking and my heart aches for you and Maggie. How blessed she is to be so loved...

I had posted around Christmastime about my 8 year-old Scottish Terrier, Maggie. We had found out she has an aggressive form of cancer and only had 6-12 months. Well about 3 weeks ago, she has really been slowing down. A week and a half ago, we took her to the vet, thinking we were going to put her down. But the morning of the appt., it was like she was a different dog. She was back to her normal self, which lasted for a few days.

She doesn't eat her food, doesn't eat treats, doesn't want human food. We bought her the wet dog food which she eats a little of....oh and she will eat a little bit of a meat ball. I noticed today her breathing is becoming a bit irratic so I think this might be the last weekend with her.

It's just so heartbreaking because the Maggie we knew just a 6 weeks ago, is not the Maggie we see today. I don't want her to suffer and I'm making her as comfortable as possible. She's just so darn cute!

Cancer is such a terrible, terrible thing.

Sorry to hear about your dog, Tim. Pets can really win their way deep into our hearts. If this is the end of your time with her, may it be a warm and meaningful time.

I am so sorry! Oh, I am crying now after reading this thread and the poems, and the memories of my Ranger! We had to put him down over 2 years ago, and sometimes, it just feels like it was yesterday! You know it has to be done, but it's so hard to let go. You want to be selfish and keep them around for as long as you can, but at the same time, you want to give them their dignity and don't want them to suffer!

Take her out, if she feels up to it, who cares if the weather is crummy?! It will make you feel better knowing you took her to her favorite place one more time!

Hugs to you! You can come here anytime. A lot of us have been through it and know how you feel and how much your heart hurts! I had a really time when we had to put down Ranger, there were so many people IRL that did not understand, and it was just frustrating! I cried at work the day after and people looked at me like I had two heads!

I'm so sorry. It's heartbreaking losing one of our furbabies. You are making her as comfortable as possible and I'm sure she's thankful for that. I went through something similar with one of my furbabies this past summer. Just spend as much time together as you can. Treasure these last moments together.

I"m so sorry.

I'm so sorry Tim. I'll be praying for both you and your Maggie girl.

I am so sorry! It was a year ago that I lost my greyhound to cancer. He too refused to eat (which was how we gave him his pain meds), so I felt like he was telling me he didn't want to be here anymore...he was in a lot of pain and we had to put him down.

Its such a hard thing to go through...they are such a part of your family. Prayers heading your way and here's a

Yeah we had steroids we had for her to help, and we would put them in tater tots but she doesn't even want those anymore. She was enjoying the warmer weather b/c she loves to sit outside in the sun. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers.

Cancer is such a terrible, terrible thing.

I'm so sorry for Maggie and for your heart. I never had a dog go through cancer - but I saw me grandfather suffer from it - terrible is the only word to describe it.

~soft pats for maggie~

 

[Robinrs]

Oh, Tim....

I'm so sorry you're going thru this. I went thru 6 years of cancer with my kitty, Rambo... I wouldn't wish that pain on my worse enemy.

Pets hold a part of our heart that is so special... I still miss the dog I lost 30 years ago and cry like a baby everytime I think about him.

God bless...

And Prayers for Chloe, too!

 

[eclectics]

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Tim. I know what a rough time you are having. Been through it myself, as have a lot of us here. I have no wise words except to say you're not alone and we are all suffering right along with you.

I'm sorry for you. I lost my dog three weeks ago to cancer so it is still very fresh in my mind. She was diagnosed just before Christmas. Things were going well until the last few days. Not eating anything was very unusual for her and I knew that was it. In the morning when we woke, she was fine and acting totally normal and we went for a very long walk (it was a Saturday with lots of sunshine). I left the house for a few hours and when I returned she was a different dog and refused all food. After an awful night with me sleeping on the floor next to her, we took her to the vet the following morning and her liver had ruptured. My hear was broken. I still look for her when I come home at night --that's the worst time.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. It's so hard to have to go through this...your situation sounds similar to mine. I just said a prayer for you and your dog...she's in a place where cancer can't get her now. And she knows how much you loved her.
