Marquis will be leaving soon - The journey is over
Marquis is one of my MIL dogs. He is a 12 year old Irish Setter. He has been having major heart and pulmonary edema problems for the last 2 months.

Good thoughts for Grimm, please
Last night I noticed a red spot on his side. Assuming he had a thorn or a bite, I put him on his side so I could examine it without him dashing off. Instead, I found his belly had a lot of hemorrhage spots (petechiation). Today I noted several on his back as well. We don't have poison at our house...

The drug seemed to be working for a day or two and then stopped working. Her nodes are starting to grow even bigger and for the first time in a long...
