Rupert's best pal, Shelby
Shelby went to the bridge today. [ ] She had cancer, the vet gave her about 3-4 months, that was 4 months ago. She was having trouble breathing, wouldn't eat (this is a dog who could eat non-stop if you let her), and just looked miserable. Her mom (SO's mom) finally came to the heart-wrenching...

Brownie has crossed over to The Bridge.
I posted on February 23rd about my parents' dog, Brownie in another section. He was in poor health that seemed to happen rather quickly. He had a history of seizures, had meds to treat it. I came here hoping for some answers and Callie was able to help me find a wonderful holistic vet for a 2nd opinion...

Wondering how to deal... still grieving
[ ] I deleted my first post because I felt it was too depressing. Nobody had responded and I thought... maybe it's just bringing everyone else down too. This is a great place to be whether it's looking for information, asking advice, sharing photos and consoling those who have been through...

I don#%92t post here anymore, never posted that much to begin with to be truthful, and it might seem presumptuous of me to do so now. But I lost my dog yesterday and felt the need to post this on a forum with other people who love dogs as much as I do. Due to a recurring health problem I had to make...

I let Jax go today
About two weeks ago he started to vomit more often and didn't want to eat. He lost about 10 lbs this month and we had a blood panel done two days ago to check him out. I thought his liver perhaps. No, his kidney's. He would need flushing of them several times a week, he had anemia and a bad infection...

rest in peace Zoe
Zoe unfortunatly had a birth defect where her rib cage was only 1/2 the size it should be. It was also twisted and deformed. So much so that if she layed down the wrong way she had a hard time breathing. You could see her lungs and heart moving. The vet said that he couldn't believe she lived with...
