Lost my 8 yo Terrier last night to cancer. Pet Lovers: share your stories!

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I lost my Mastiff a couple years ago during surgery to remove a giant tumor on his spleen. It broke my heart

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for the loss!

Awww ... I am so sorry.

Ah sorry I hate that for you. We lost our 14 yr old Boxer about a year ago and to this day I miss him.


Here is a funny dog pic to maybe take your mind off of it for a little while

My burmese cat past last week, she was 19 and 11 months, loved her to bits, I feel I see her in the shadows, and I keep talking to her. Breaks my heart.

I know you may not want to hear this now but it will help....get another dog soon. The healing will begin quicker


Peace

I am terribly sorry for your loss.I once had a parakeet called Floyd whom I loved. One day I came home and found him struggling on his back at the floor of his cage in death throes but as he passed he locked eyes with me as if to say "help". I could do nothing. That is why I will not keep pets any longer. It hurts too much when they die. I suspect that the Teflon baking pans caused his death. I was a teenager and my Mom bought these dumb pans to bake with. I very much suspect they caused his demise. Again, I sympathize with you. We can only trust that they go to a better place. Love unto you.Thanks.

So sorry op... Allot of non pet owners dont understand that a loss of a pet is like losing a child...

heart goes out to you op..

Wow. Nearly 20! That's amazing. What I would have given to get another 12 years from my girl.

I talk to my girl as well. I hope some day to feel her presence or see her near me. I don't want her trapped in some middle existence, but a goodbye would make my world.

I'm sorry for your loss as well.

No, it is not like losing a child. This statement irritates me having lost a child.

what brands of dog food were you feeding her ?

No I didn't feed him from the pans,but there is a phenomena called Teflon Flu, whereby the initial heating of Teflon will trigger Nausea and radiation exposure type symptoms in humans and animals,and even after the "break in stage" if you let the Teflon coated materials get too hot,they will release hundreds of different carcinogens. Thank You for your sympathy.

Lost my Bichon Frise about 6-7 years ago. Still miss the little guy. He was 14. I have his ashes on the fireplace mantle.

To fill the void we started doing Bichon Rescue. We had about 20 dogs at least over the years. Some for just a week, others for several months.

When Our Bichon died, he died in my arms at the vet. We did not have to put him down though. We were about to, and he breathed his last before.

We drove home. It was about 10:00AM. When we got home, there was a huge hawk sitting on a fencepost in our backyard. He just sat there for a long time, then flew off. I've never seen one that close in our yard before that, or since.

My beloved dog was hit extremely suddenly by cancer. Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, she seemed healthy, happy, and perfectly normal. Her first seizure of her life happened Thanksgiving night and the second one on Friday morning. The vet took blood and ran several tests, suspecting Addison's disease or insulinoma (cancer of the pancreas).

We were told to give her many small meals to keep her blood sugar up, and Monday she was scheduled for an ultrasound to see if there were tumors. She had several small ones on the outer areas of her pancreas that were likely operable, but she had a massive inoperable one in the middle of her pancreas.

Yesterday, Tuesday, we received the results of her Insulin RIA test confirming the insulinoma. Last night she went into heavy seizures, one after another for 45+ minutes and we were forced to put her to sleep.

Between her first seizure and her last breath, we had 5 days. We thought we'd have more time, but God called her back to him for some higher purpose.

She will be greatly missed and I hope God is enjoying her wonderful bright soul - it shone so bright she lit up every room she was in.

I'll miss you, baby.
