Our
12-year old Rottweiler
Ben, who normally eats
all his food at once (2
times a day) is not wanting to
eat it anymore and when
he does he vomits
undigested food a few
hours later. He has no
obstruction-x-ray done).
His gums are pale, he
pants a lot (it's cold
here in Wisconsin) and
he drinks
much water through out
the day.
We have changed his food
to canned IAMS and he is
on 100 mg
Rimadyl 2x a
day for bone chips in
his front legs from
letting him jump in and
out truck beds in the
past. A note to
the wise: do not
let your dogs jump in
and out of vehicles like
pick up truck beds. The
vet is doing an ultra
sound today and thinks
he has a pancreas issue?
(After the vet
appointment) It looks
like Ben has spots on
his spleen/liver, what
the vet calls
Hemangiosarcoma. All the
reading I've done it
sounds like this is his
problem. The vet said 1
month to 6 weeks to
live. He
seems to be doing well
on the canned food (and
I guess I'm in denial).
That's it for me with
dogs! They just don't
last long enough my
heart is breaking over
this. Everyone in
our neighborhood knows
and loves him. |
