His “grandparent” did it to him, apparently his son, the dog’s owner was in the military and the father dumped the dog.

I suspect she thinks the young man dumped the dog to his parents, and they didn’t want the dog either.

My sweet little Misty was in heart failure. She wasn't getting oxygen. As long as they had her in the Oxygen chamber she was not to stressed, but the minute they started cutting it down she went into stress her tongue started turning blue and her breathing was very labored. We made the decision this afternoon to have her put to sleep. At my age I will never get another pet as I love them to much and it is to stressful for me to make that decision.

You asked about the Viagra. That pill was first made for certain heart conditions, but they discovered what one of the side effects was (for men) and that would make the pharmaceutical company millions more dollars by marketing it for that instead.

Bless you for considering not only the physical comfort for your dogs, but their emotional comfort as well. When the time came to ease my last 2 cats from this world (they were in the last stages of kidney failure), I had the vet come to the house to spare them that last scary ride to the vet. It was the least I could do, after they both had given me 16+ years of unconditional love and companionship. I will do the same for my current beloved cats. Inflicting even a millisecond of unnecessary pain or suffering on them would be like putting a knife through my own heart.

Our 5-year old setter mix fought corneal ulcers for 18 months before the doggie ophthalmologist told us the medications weren’t working anymore and the dog needed micro-vascular surgery or she could take the eye out. We opted for the surgery, and it worked out well.

When people ask how much the surgery was, my husband just responds “That’s why God gives you two kidneys”. :)

We got our now 13-ish Aussie mix from a rescue where he had been “reserved” by a couple who were doing some remodeling. After 6 weeks on the reserved list they changed their minds, stating they did not want to deal with all the dog hair.

Serendipitously, the time he was reserved was the amount of time we needed to finish grieving the loss of our previous dog, and we absolutely love this old guy.

The surgery has worked out well for us, too. Our little buddy’s eye is clear as can be. Before the surgery, his cornea looked terrible. We had to cancel our summer vacation this year to stay with him and administer all the medications. We got pretty good at getting the drops in from behind his head before he knew what hit him. Then he’d shake fiercely and snort every time — two or three times a day.

Do you have to continue giving him eye drops? The doctor says Aubrey has an auto-immune disease that attacks her corneas and we give her a drop of two different auto-immune suppressing drugs a day (each eye, just to be safe). The last set of ulcers were much deeper than the doctor expected, so the micro-vascular patch is visible, but only if you are looking for it.

Her vision is not as good as it was before. She is very prey-driven and now she sees every leaf skittering down the street as prey, but it’s pretty cute seeing her bark, bounce and try to chase blowing leaves When I let her catch up with one, she snorts in dismay and goes on to the next leaf, which she KNOWS will be a mouse.

We,are off the drops, but I don’t think we were informed about the possibility of an autoimmune problem. I’ll have to raise this w the vet. Thanks for letting me know about that.

I certainly didn’t mean to worry you; I was just describing Aubrey’s condition. Her eye would clear up for 3 to 5 months and then another ulcer or two would start to form. As I said, we fought this for 18 months before the medications stopped working altogether. Your dog may not have an auto-immune problem.

One thing we do now is to wait a month in-between her immunizations. We walk her to the vet so it is no problem for us and it lightens the load on her immune system. I don’t know if there is any correlation but we sure don’t need to find out on her other eye!

>>> Can’t say if that story is true but my rescue, German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (CA), saved one dog several years ago because the previous owner bought new furniture and the dog did not match the furniture.

Disgusting. If ever I can afford new carpet, I’d consider a sculpted grey to blend with the mix of pet sheddings. But changing out the pets to match the furnishings? Nope, no way.
