| Re: Rottie will not eat
Thanks to all of you for your most valuable input. Here is the report. I was able to get her a vet appointment at 4pm today. Vet, was super! he felt her belly and sure enough he felt "something". He took her back for a quick X-
Ray,and 10 minutes later we saw for ourselves..... our beloved Chloe had a huge, and I do mean huge tumor. It involved pancreas and spleen and had also pushed the colon way up out of place. Given the options, such a very hard heart wrenching decision had to be made. We opted to have her put to sleep. Now, as we grieve the loss, in my heart I know we did the right thing. Surgery could have only told us more of the ugly story. So, we sat with her, held and kissed her goodbye as she slipped into her forever sleep. My husband was not able to drive home, so I mustered up all the courage I could and here we are. Her sister, Durban knows something is different, but I don't think she knows for sure. We will have to do this all over again with Durban because she too is same age, but has very bad hip dysplasia.
Thanks to each of you for your input. Please know I will still continue to read everything this website has to offer.
