Although i spend many years to help street animals could not save my own Cat Miro. I lost him yesterday because of FIP
(sorry for my english)2 times with my late american stafforshire terrier:
- The first time when i was visiting friends and their dogs near Paris, we went to a dog park, they played a lot, mine was really energetic and never calmed down. When we left we noticed he had struggle to breathe, we try to cool him, retreat... but at a point he just crawled under bushes in the street and breathed very loudly. We knew this was a heatstroke.we couldn't carry him to the vet so my friends tried to get a cart from a mall nearby but the security guard refused. We were trying to figure this out when a lady passed by, heard the dog struggle and told us to wait as she would go to her home to get us a coin for a cart. We were hopeless but this lady saved my dog with 1 euro! We pushed him to the vet and he was immediatly taking care of. He reached 42celsius (at 43 it's death), had a cold shower and a shot, and some light sedatives because he was overly exited with his new friends. This lady was his guardian angel!And of course my dog was overly exited when we left and he saw his new friends waiting for him outside...
(sorry for my english)2 times with my late american stafforshire terrier:
-The second time when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, bone cancer and broken bone. As a loving owner i rent a place with a garden for a week to make his last days better with a vet coming in the last day to end his suffering. I rented a dogproof place with a fence, the owner had two dogs himself. That was in "cliff street". Yes he managed to fell down that very cliff, with a broken bone and terminally ill with cancer. I couldn't reach him, heard him barking in response at my calls. I called the firemens to get him since the owner was unreachable. Then the owner came and i cancelled my call, he had to get a key to an abandonned property under the cliff, then we had to crawl under brumbles and spider nets for half an hour to get him. He was very pleased and jumped on us with his broken bone and morphine treatment. We were covered in scratches and dirty but we got him! The several meters tall brumbles seems to have protected him from other injuries but i was fearing internal pain so i called a vet to ask him. His only response after my explaination was: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?", no this was not a joke but he kept beeing an ass so i called my dog oncologist who told me that internal bleeding is very fast so he must be fine by now. I should write a book (in french lol) about him, he was such an entertaining dog, untill the end.
The cliff https://servimg.com/view/12057229/476 . Yes it's a roof and he felt behind the building and my location "on the cliff". So fun to get him! On his late days.
My husky ran away in a forest once and was gone for about 16h. I actually thought I would never see him again and I spent all night looking for him while crying my eyes out.
It was very cold and raining constantly. We eventually found him and I have never felt more relieved in my life. I got sick after that, but it was worth it.
When we knew they were going to die and we couldn’t do anything about it
My dog, Leroy, had cancer. He was a super cute pitbull and I loved him so much. He eventually got cancer and we had to chop his leg off. He wasn't going to make it though, so one day the doctor had to come over to our house and give him a shot so he died :(
"chop his leg off?" Did your read my posts? That's the most selfish post i ever read. You knew but you choose to harm him for your own sake?????? I hope that you are a kid and your parents are assholes. Poor dog!
My cat disappearing. I never found her, but for a year afterwards, I often dreamed of her. It was much harder on me than halving to get my other cat euthanized because of terminal illness. I now recommend keeping cats indoors or training them to walk on leash and harness.
