Sorry to hear that too, Dave - it's not easy with pets - we have just shelled out $1500.00 on our 2 cats. The upside is they seem to be full of beans again.

Really sorry to hear mate. It's never easy as they are unconditional love.

We've been through an emotional roller coaster here over the last few days, our gorgeous 14 YO Lab has the big C which we've been managing for near six months months now, but it looked like the time was now on Monday/Tuesday due to a Staph infection in the tumour.
We all feared it was an MRSA (Antibiotic resistant) so she was getting lots of attention, lots of tears and not much work done for a few days.

Had the call yesterday that it was beatable with AB's and she's bounced back really quickly, (we'd been piling ones for anaerobes into her too, it was a double whammy of bugs) so we've had a reprieve for the time being....

Sorry to hear dude,,, its always hard,, as said before, they are part of the family, but their their love is always, "unconditional"..

Sorry to hear - but it happens, their expected lifespan is shorter than ours. Perhaps worse from the dog's point of view is if you leave them.
