My dog Thor was 9 years old we had just celebrated his 9th birthday on the 21st. He had been acting odd for a month or so but we didn’t see any urgency to take him to the vet.
Until 3 days ago he stopped eating. And he just wasn’t acting himself out family all occupied with work so we couldn’t give him too much attention.
Yesterday his eyes and skin were completely yellow shocked we immediately took him to the ER.
The doctors told us he had elevated liver enzymes and may require surgery. First we purchased some medication prescribed and he received two injections and we brought him home so he can rest.
I had hope he would recover given a week or so post medication. But this early this morning we woke up to him whimpering on the floor and there was blood in his stool.
We rushed him to the vet, where the doctors told us he was in critical condition and he was seizing.
We had to make a decision and went through with the euthanasia. It’s been a few hours and I’ve been crying and sobbing in waves.
This is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
I feel so blindsided and shocked. I had to call off work in order to grieve properly.
