very sad night....

[nic85]

Just had to take our old lab to the vets when he became unwell after his tea.

Vet suspected twisted gut and was sorry when he was right

WE had 2 options, 1 was major surgery that was 50/50 chance of pulling through for a young dog, at 14 years old the kindest thing we could do was to let him go to sleep.

So, Good night Oz, sleep well old man. Matthews going to miss you probably as much as me

RIP Oz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Ravenwood]

So very sorry - you must be devastated

He looked in very fine fettle for his age. xx

 

[Sprout]

So sorry - he was a very handsome boy, and I am sure you will have lots of wonderful memories to treasure.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Run free, Oz x

 

[nic85]

Thanks for the replies.

Ive got a rather sad looking terrier led on the huge bed they shared

Think she deserves a new one just for her now

Thanks again. just trying to sort out his cremation now and to find a matching Casket to the one our other old dog has. xx

What a lovely old boy, RIP Oz

 

[MurphysMinder]

Aaw so sorry, RIP Oz. You did the right thing, hard as it must have been, we had a young fit GSD operated on for torsion, he made it through the op but died 24 horus later

 

[Maesfen]

Sorry, huge hugs. Even if operated on, these things sometimes do re-occur and usually quite quickly so you have no chances left; at least you've saved him from that now which he'd thank you for. Cherish your memories.

 

[Spudlet]

Oh sweetheart - hugs to all. What a gorgeous looking dog

 

[kafue]

Big hugs!! Its one of the most difficult decisions. You definitely made the right one though. xxx

 

[Daffodil]

Such a shame, I am so sorry, but it sounds as if he didn't suffer for long

. Such an intellegent face (((((hugs)))))))))

 

[Blanche]

(((((Hugs)))))

 

[Archangel]

RIP Oz. Lovely dog.

 

[CorvusCorax]

And to echo MurphysMinder - even young, very fit dogs fall victim to torsion, so please don't feel bad, you made the right decision.
The top GSD in Ireland died last year from this condition at only five years old, it can happen to any dog at any age x
