You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog - the Dog Thread

there is nothing harder ..... I'm so sorry.

getting concerned with Max..........................

Last month or so I've had to coax him into eating. Last week or two - will only eat if I hand feed. Yesterday even that didn't work. He's off his water also. No problem eating dog treats however.

I know he's gotta be in a lot of discomfort what with 3 out 4 legs arthritic - discs in his back are messed up. He's taking a super canine anti-inflammatory to help with the artritis & his back issues as well as at least 1 tramadol a day. When he seems to be uncomfortable I give him a 1/2 at night also.

I know the non-eating has a tendency to signal "a coming to the end". I'm just not ready to put him down. He doesn't appear to be in any real pain. I know they can hide it - but no whimpering or anything like that.

I hope Max turns around Wader.
Sad to hear that and understand, completely.

Been a bit out of sorts here as well, my old guy is having difficulties and had a real bad episode this morning again.
He is eating and drinking and some how got up after going lame from a seizure twice this week.

He is the older brother to the Black lab we lost last October, hope he hangs in, hate to loose them both in a year but not looking good.

All the Best to Max and you.

They give us so much and we do the Best we can for them.

Sad

thanks & good luck with your guy as well

My guy had a good day.
He is slow and weak but a bit better today.

Hope Max Well.

The old boy is gone. We were actually bringing him home with meds and he had a stroke leaving the facility. They rushed him back into doctor and we had to put him down.

[SIZE=7]Mysterious disease killing dogs in Norway[/SIZE]

HELSINKI — Norwegian authorities haven’t been able to detect the cause behind an unexplained disease that is estimated to have killed dozens of dogs in the country in recent days, officials said Saturday.
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority said that it had been informed of another six cases of dogs falling ill, with two them already dead, all with the same symptoms of vomiting and bloody diarrhea.
The disease seemed “very serious for a dog. But we don’t know yet whether this is contagious or just a series of individual cases,” agency spokesman Ole-Herman Tronerud told public broadcaster NRK.
The majority of cases have been reported in and around the capital Oslo, but also in the cities of Bergen and Trondheim, and the northern Nordland municipality.
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute said Friday that it had detected two unspecified bacteria in autopsies, but was unable to clarify whether that was the cause of the outbreak.
“To have healthy and great Norwegian dogs die so quickly is naturally serious. It’s a very special situation I haven’t been involved in before,” the institute’s emergency and safety director, Jorun Jarp, said Friday.
In neighboring Sweden, the National Veterinary Institute said it had been swamped with questions from dog owners concerned over the spread of the disease across the border.
The institute said it currently had no information “to show that it is an infectious outbreak or that it would pose a risk to dogs in Sweden.”
