Dugs

[Shteve]

That was what I wasn't wanting to read when I seen you'd posted again after the other day. Sad news.

[CritchSmile]

Cheers. He was 9 and a half.

He was alright all day yesterday and then about 1am he was shaking and couldn't get out of bed. No strength in his back legs. I Had to carry him out to the car.

The vet originally thought that there was just an abscess on his throat, which was stopping him eating and drinking. Seemed quite upbeat that surgery or antibiotics would be sound.

Then more tests and scans this morning revealed he was bleeding internally, had cancer, tumours and his lungs weren't functioning properly.

Just can't believe how sudden it all was. He'd not ate properly for a couple of days but apart from that you wouldn't have known anything like that was happening.

They were going on about blood transfusions and more scans etc, but it wasn't fair. Was cuddling Him and he was just totally fucked. Couldn't even keep his head up or anything.

Been greetin all day man. Cried more today than I have the last 33 years

You've got me close to greetin too. If you ever fancy a chat, give me a shout.

It's honestly one of the hardest things you can do, I ken this might sound daft but putting my auld cat doon was just as hard as having to deal with any other death.

Such a shame man but the times you had with the dug will last forever and your wee lassie will have great memories with him and that's the important thing.

[Zizou]

Sounds like you made the right choice mate, not fair on the dog. From what we've seen of him on here you gave him a great life so hopefully you can take comfort from that in time.

[Billy Butcher]

A few months ago my wee dug was put to sleep - had her since I was 13

Greeting for days  

Sorry to hear Khali- sounds like you made the right choice but it doesn't make it any easier.

[Shuto Makino]

Sorry to hear mate, really sad news.

[Snake Plissken]

Horrible news Khali but if it makes you feel any better, you definitely did the right thing.

My in-laws had a wee Maltese that was dying and they didn't put him to sleep when they should have. By dragging it out a few months, the dog just withered away to nothing. It's the hardest call to make, but far, far better to do it before it gets to that stage.

[Currahee!]

Gutted for you man.

I opened this seeing quite a few posts with hope of seeing various peoples dogs up to their usual shenanigans. Hopes dashed with that shit news.

[2MatoFish]

Really sorry to hear that, I know you loved that dog.

[Mikey]

Aw Khali man

Keep the heid up lad

[pondlife]

Feel for you, Khali, never easy such things.

[Fraggle]

Sorry to hear your news Khali, gutted for you. Pain free over the rainbow bridge now though 

[Walter Sobchak]

Aw Khali man.

So sorry.

[The Great Khali]

The wife's sisters dog passed away eleven hours before Bailey.

He was fifteen and it's been coming for a while, but I can't believe they went on the same day. Such a shite day

Thanks for the kind words lads.

[Hank Scorpio]

Fuck thats awful, really sorry to hear that.

[Rory Breaker]

That's brutal Khali

[CritchSmile]

Feel a bit bad messaging this after the last few pages but can confirm

Dug reserved.

[The Great Khali]

Cherish it my man. Good stuff.

[CritchSmile]

Cherish it my man. Good stuff.

Cheers. This is a rescue and 3 years old. Was thinking based on your last few days, how time can fly by and before you know it in a few years, it will be as old as your boy. Hope you're holding up ok mate.

Breed, Scott? Or a mongrel? They say a dug reflects its owner.
