He was injured by a moving vehicle and S/b vets and able to come home 3 days later then 2 weeks down the track and he was having difficulty passing urine and leaving little puddles everywhere but never on the carpet.
Decided to euthanise as he was loaded with fluid.Unable to pass a catheter.
It’s heartbreaking to come home and he’s not here.
Our road is very busy and certainly not an area for fur babies.
Miss our little guy so much.
God has all things even the little ones in His Hands.
They are SO companionate! 💕🙏💫
We were together for 13 years and 8 months and being my first pup it was really rough the months after. On the July 11, 2022 I rescued a 10 week old Rottweiler-Labrador Retriever named Duke. I highly recommend Lap of Love.
My dear Goldendoodle Skip is 13 and was diagnosed in July with adinocarcinoma. it is progressing as Skip isn't able to breathe through his nose much, and breathes through his mouth.
He is so kind and humble.
This is soooo difficult because you see the external nasal erosion- and isnt visible is worse.
I know I have to make the decision.
With appreciation,
Kathy
As someone who has worked in the veterinary field myself, I feel this video is fantastic - truly exceptional - and wish all pet parents could see it. ❤

I took him to emergency vet expecting to have treatment for pneumonia or something. And I was shocked to find my baby was in congestive heart failure and his chest was full of fluid.
It was going to take $3000 to try to save him and continuous daily treatment for the remainder of his life.
Knowing our Cousteau was suffering so much, terrified from struggling to breathe and knowing that was likely to eventually happen again. And knowing how Cousteau would hate being constantly poked and prodded daily as he declined, I knew Cousteau would not be happy with that.
We chose to take away Cousteau's little breathing nightmare and comfort him as best we could despite the situation.
So hearing what you had to say was such comfort.
Thank you!
