Man, this sucks.... My wife and I are so sad tonight, we lost our oldest dashund tonight. I have (2) dashunds, Lucky and Dusty. Lucky is the swimmer in the family and Dusty loves to run. Well after my wife and I went out to lunch and a movie, I came back home and took Lucky swimming. I'd throw the float in the pool for Lucky to retrieve and throw the other float outside the pool for Dusty to retrieve. After swimming, Lucky was having a hard time breathing. We went inside and he couldn't get his breath. I sat with him for about 10-15 minutes, then he threw up blood. At that time my wife and I grabbed him and headed to the emergency room for animals. While waiting at the last traffic light, he suddenly when limp. I gave him mouth to snout breathing and he came back. As soon as I got the car door open he started vomiting blood, alot. We got him inside and he was still bleeding. The nurse and doctor took him to the back, while we waited up front. The doctor came back and suggested we might consider putting him down because it appeared he had congenital heart conditon. We decided to go with the IV, oxygen-tent and x-rays. The x-rays showed he had some fluid in his lungs, but there was still some air capacity, so we decided to do what we could. The doctor was encouraged and if he would make it through the night, we could put him on medicine to control the heart condition. We left about 8:00 pm, but got a call at 9:30 pm that he had passed away..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

This is a terrible night and my wife and I are at a loss. Our youngest doesn't know what's going on, these two have rarely spent a night apart...

I will miss him tremendously.... He was our watch dog/protector and my best friend.... Rest in peace Lucky thanks for all of the unconditional love... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Boy, isn't that the truth. Having lost 4 footed animal companions before, I know how your heart must ache. I'm sorry.

Sorry man! I know all too well how hard that can be. My four legged friend Camaya was a rather flawed individual with a rough background.... We got along great! She was technically the family dog, but her and I were buddies, and it was my decision to have her put down after her stroke. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to put into words. I feel your hurt, man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. Most of us have been there, just a shared experience I guess... It'll get better, but it will take time.

I'm so sorry to hear this... dogs have a way of squirming into your heart, and one doesn't always realize this until they leave us. Mine is 13, so I have this creeping fear of having to face that day, probably sooner rather than later.

I know how you feel. We lost our shepherd/lab mix to cancer at 14. She was older than our youngest son. They definitely become part of the family.

Our condolences, we really know what you are going through. We have lost several cats and a couple of dogs so far. We have a gang of mini poodles at home, and the old boy at 14 years is now having what I think is dementia. Usually he sleeps on the bed at night, but the last two nights he has gone off into the kitchen and barks. Nothing will make him settle down, he will just look at you and bark. I think that he and his son are due in short order. His son was abused by the owners ex, and has had a multitude of troubles. We got him back over a year ago, but the end is in sight now.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Yesterday, we had to put our 5 year old Australian cattle dog Bella down. We got her just over a year ago from a rescue shelter. Awesome dog with unlimited energy, about the only thing that would keep up with our 5 year old son. She was also having trouble breathing. X-Rays showed fluid all around her lungs and what the vet thought was cancerous spots all over her lungs. She'll be missed.
