We had to put our dog down tonight. He was completely fine all weekend, running, playing and being his fun playful self then come Monday he got all lethargic, puked up all his food, had blood in his urine, and could hardly walk so we took him to the vet. While at the vet his health started to decline at lighting speed. His red blood cell count dropped, he developed a heart murmur, he because hypothermic and still could not use his back legs. We’re baffled at how he declined so fast. And we have no answers as to what he was sick with. The vet told us there was a mass in his prostate that could be cancerous but also could be benign. They suggested sending him to a care centre to get more tests done but it would cost us $5000. Money we did not have. Our other option was to euthanize as he was already in so much pain.

My children are gutted, my whole family is heart broken, I don’t even know how I’m going to get thru this as every part of my house reminds me of him. But what really bothers me is how fast he got sick without any warning. Has this ever happened to anyone else here? He was only 6 years old too so he wasn’t that old yet.
