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 shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
