Sad story about my dog


phoenix

Recommended Posts

His name is Mickey. He's very old and blind and deaf. I've had him since I was 12. He was okay until last night.

Last night he was standing in corners for like 7 minutes and not moving. It was freaking me out, he was like a zombie dog. So I picked him up and carried him downstairs and left him there. This morning it took me a while to find him. He has been trembling a lot lately so he was doing that. I took him outside on the leash and he stumbled down the front stairs. He could barely get around the yard. He couldnt even walk properly. I had to carry him up the stairs back into the house. Then I opened up a can of dog food and fed him with a spoon. I called the vet, they called back soon. I spoke to a technician, who she said was like a nurse. I talked to her for a while, found out my dad had made an appointment for this evening. She said it sounded serious. I asked her if dogs get like Alzheimer's and she said they do have conditions where thier brains lose functions. She said it sounded like Geriatric Vestibular Syndrome. I had her spell that so I could look it up. http://www.vara.org/VestibularSyndrome.htm Yes, it does sound like that. My mom came home, I explained it to her. I said, "I think he's dying." She said, "I think he is too." She started to cry.

I really do think my dog is dying. I dont know why I'm not devastated. I guess I just knew it was coming for a while.

I remember when my cat was dying when I was about 7, it was a sad time. He had to be put down, but he knew it was going to happen somehow and ran away for 3 days before my dad found him and took him to the vets.

I'm sorry about your dog :(

I'm sorry about your dog too.

I would be devastated if my dog pass away. he is 12, but I know his time will come one day and it will be very sad day...

my little cat is ill, I don't even know what's wrong with him. He's hobbling around the hose, holding front leg up and not putting any weight on it at all, he doesn't want to eat, but I hope he will be fine in few days. This is a cat, he will pull through, but I don't like to see animals suffer. who does? hmmm... only people with hearts of stone, I think.

Aw, I'm so sorry hun! :-( Don't give up hope though! We have a dog called Barney. He's a 5 year old German Shepherd/Labrador and he once had Parvo disease. This basically gives him the runs and makes him vomit all the time. Coupled with a loss of appetite, it's not good. He was in the vets for about three weeks until we decided to bring him home to die. At this time he was only 9 months old so his immune system wasn't that strong. When we brought him home, my mum tried what many people would call "force-feeding". She put bits of chicken on the back of his tounge, held his mouth closed and rub his throat until he swallowed it. It eventually paid off and he's now the proud father of 9 adorable little pups and he's the most beautiful dog we've ever owned. Don't give up hope! :-)

Okay well we went to the vet. Before we left my parents were hugging and my mom was crying. My mom never cries. She cried a lot at her father's funeral, my grandfather's funeral. I put my arms around both my parents. I also took a picture of them with the dog.

Well we went. The dog has a fever and its making him disoriented. He may have an infection or the boil on his thigh may be a tumor which is causing him much pain when he walks. The doctor gave him a very strong antidote shot - apparently the same stuff they give to people who are infected with anthrax. He prescribed medicine and said it should - might - pass in a few days. Thank God, I thought it was something really terrible. But likely an infection and high fever.

When we got him home he was walking fine, got up the front steps okay, and even drank some water.

    • The irony of Jordan moving to Capital Radio is it seems to speed up Greg's eventual move from Radio 1 Breakfast. I think Greg's show is great, but he hasn't had any significant competition in his time on mornings. Now there is there'll be more scrutiny of the figures, he might be more tempted to move, which is probably what Jordan wanted before he left!
    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
