Dog help!
This might sound stupid to alot of you but it's not stupid to me!I
remember that one of the members;knows alot about animals.
My dog(11 1/2 yr old;mostly Black Lab,part Rotty)hadn't been eating.He would reach over;his food dish;and just drink from his
water dish.It sounds like alot but he is down to 104lbs.He is a BIG
dog;not fat;and usually runs about 112-120lbs.I give him 30% less fat food.I took him to the Vet;Friday.The Vet said he had a
large cancerous tumor in his stomach.He said that it possibly could
have already infected his liver&spleen.He said that the only way to check it was by ultra-sound(minimum $300)or to cut him open;
with the agreement;that if it was too bad;they wouldn't wake him
back up.He said that even if the money was spent;and the results;not bad;that big dogs don't live long anyway and he was
on"borrowed"time now.I brought him home and am just feeding him anything that appeals to him.So far he eats bologna and also
likes a hamburg&rice concoction that I cooked up.He drinks alot&
throws up alot of Yellowish bile!Any suggestions would be appreciated.He has always been my buddy;loves to ride;and is my
constant companion.I tell people;that I have 2 white daughters&
one black son!I know that he is going to die;I'm just trying to make him enjoy in the mean time!Thanks! Irish
