He's 14 years old, and very sick.
He has congestive heart failure, and water retention in his lungs and stomach, which is causing severe loss of a pulse in his back end. We are trying meds starting today, and hopefully it will help him.
Any of you that have pets and love them, you know what we are going through.
Thoughts/prayers would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

Thanks Wayne.
We never had children, so Seth is a very important part of our family. We have had him since he was 3 months old. Only people that have had "four legged children" will understand it.
The one nice thing is, we trained him to potty in a cat litter box. So with him having to take a water pill, he can go anytime he has to.
He's a very smart dog. Lauriejean had a feeling something was not right and took him to the vet.
We want him comfortable and not to be miserable.
So we are hopeful that the 3 meds will help him.
We arn't ready to let him go just yet.

Sorry to hear about your pup. Hope he pulls through. Don't have a pet now but I grew up with a golden retriever and remember how important he was to the family.

Sorry to hear that Cheesey.
Our Ruby (beagle) came down with congestive heart failure at the age of 13. With the help of meds she lived to be 16 and lived a fairly normal life until about her last 3 months.
We were devastated by her passing as she was a member of the family.
With medication and exercise your loving dog should be with you for awhile yet.
My heart goes out to you, LJ and your pup.

Thank you Mikeys and Yooper!
I knew we had pet lovers on here that would understand!
They become so much of the family, they give love and companionship.
Our pup even jumps in if he thinks we are fighting.
It's amazing how much they are a part of our lives.
It's only been a day on the meds, and he seems a little better already. I hope his condition keeps improving.
We had to make the bad decision once already, on our first pup that we had for 13 years, and it was awful. I still cry if I think about him (Norman) too much.
But we have always said that if they are suffering, we won't make them stay just for us.

Enough for now.....as I don't want to start crying in the library.

Sorry Alan. It's very difficult no doubt. I had a cat that grew to be quite old and to this day, I refuse to ask where he is. My daughters mother knows, but this is one of those cases where ignorance is bliss.

Is that that the barking shoe I met several years ago?

Thanks again!
It's been especially hard for Lauriejean.
She had taken Seth to a different vet, and the pill that vet gave Seth almost killed him.
So she feels like it was her fault. (Although I and our good vet assured her it wasn't)
LJ worked all those years and felt she missed out on Seth's best years. Losing her job has been hard, but she's getting to make up for that lost time now.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
