Along with several other things that have gone wrong today my little lab, the absolute love of my life isn’t doing well.
move posted before about him. He’s “ disabled” I got him really to pts as a pup but what an amazing little attitude and “I can do this” happiness he had about him. Vets after lots of investigations said he was in no pain but hadn’t formed properly before birth. Gave him a life expectancy of 3 years.
Hes 7. He’s the happiest most loving crazy little dog I’ve ever known.
The past week or so I’ve had to give him a hand to get on the sofa, decided to keep an eye on that but he was ok otherwise and vets are emergency only.
This morning I found him lying on the cold tiles, he’s always bouncing at the door hearing me get up for his breakfast. He was struggling a bit to walk, he could walk but not far before, I’m not really sure, his back legs just going all wrong. He was still super wavy and as happy as ever. Wolfed his b’fast down. Managed to go out and toilet ok. But can’t get up or down the steps alone, can’t get on the sofa, can’t walk far.
The vets are operating a triage system and have agreed he needs seeing so we are on our way.
OH is really pissy with me about it because he’s a “he’s fine look he’s wagging” and very anti pts before theres absolutely no choice. This makes it very tough for me and in the past I let him almost bully me into keeping an animal going longer than I should. It’s such a hard thing anyway but when your family are against it it’s awful.
Im really hoping it won’t come to that but my head thinks it may be approaching.
Wishes for the little chap and people saying I’m doing the right thing would be appreciated:’(
