I know what you're saying, it's a dog. But this guy has been with my half my life. He recently became ill. He stopped being playful and just laid around all day. Eventually his abdomen became swollen. I took him to the vet today, and the X-rays showed lots of fluid in his abdomen and his intensities pushed to one side by something that couldn't be seen because of the fluid. After doing some more tests on him they told me he is bleeding internally from something and that's what his abdomen is filled with. He's thinking that behind the fluid might be a a cancerous tumor causing him to bleed. I love this dog like my brother and has been there with through a lot. If it was his time to go because of old age then I would have to accept that. But I know he still has so much life in him that it's not his time to go. He's going to have a ultrasound tomorrow to check exactly what he has. I hope I get good news because I've been pretty depressed all day.
All I ask is for some prayers. Please..
Thanks..
Update - So I just got back from the vet with my mom. The doctor came in and told us the cancer has spread throughout his whole abdomen so there's nothing really we can do but wait until he dies, or put him to sleep. My dog doesn't show much pain right now, he seems ok just always tired from the internal bleeding so we are going to take it day by day. On the way home I took him to a park and me him and mom just sat on a blanket and hung out. The pain my mom is going through makes it that much harder. I hope to god a miracle happens and he gets better, but I have to be realistic and start accepting the fact that he's going to be gone real soon. I love him to death and I don't want him to go..But there's not much I can do now..
Thank you NT for your prayers.
Update 2 - I just got off the phone with an oncologist and he's going to get examined to see if chemo or radiation treatment would help him. I've already spent over a grand, and the chemo/radiation is a few more but I can't let my dog go without a fight, even if it means me going broke.
