I am absolutely devastated, literally heartbroken. My furbaby Arni is dying.
He had an MRI yesterday morning as he'd been having a few funny episodes and unfortunately it's game over for our big boy. He's got very aggressive tumours, started in heart and already spread to spleen and possibly other organs as cancerous blood clots are breaking off and travelling all over, literally riddling his body. There's no treatment, there's no cure. Vet told us he's a ticking time bomb, if we do nothing, he has maximum a few months and would have a nasty, traumatic end.
Vet said if it was her dog, she'd be inclined to let him go peacefully and sooner rather than later. We're making an appointment for the 23rd December to say goodbye, the same day that I lost my precious girl boxer Biri 4 yrs ago. They were thick as thieves those two so in a way quite touching that they share a special date to be reunited.
He's not in any pain at the moment but this dam disease can hit him at any time. If he gets a clot in his chest he will collapse and we won't even have time to get him to the vet. He can't have any excitement or pressure on his heart, he can't have off lead exercise, we've been advised to never walk him too far from the car and to have at least 2 people walking him in case he collapses. We have to check his gums at least twice a day as the colour is a sign that things have taken a turn for the worst.
He's 61/2 and had the worst start in life and fought so strong and so hard and got better. But there's no way he can fight this so I have to let him go peacefully and with dignity. To keep him going and take away all his fun runs and excitement is too cruel and would destroy his beautiful character. He'd hate it and I can't do it to him.
Can't really say much more at the moment as I'm so heartbroken, I've cried a million tears but they just keep falling. Can't believe I have 2 weeks left with my beautiful boy.
I know he's "just a dog" but he's my dog, he's been there every day for 61/2 years, he's been my comfort during a few horrible years, he's literally one in a million and I'm not ready to lose him
