Question by rosy_cheeks: I just want to tell you how my pet life is going. Everyone please read!?
The first pet I had was a Maltese(my grandparents’ actually) I’ve known her since I was a baby. She LOVED me SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! Than one Christmas Eve she died of a dog flu.
The second pet I got was a little kitten that I got for my 9th B-day. She was the sweetest. When I was about to got to school my mom and I honked the horn just to make sure the kitten wasn’t underneath the car.After 3 times we decided to start the car. I went over to the deck and called for (Angel). I saw what I thought was some white fuzzy stuff that Angel played. When I picked it up it was soft. I told my mom and she “Alex Angel went crawling under the bush, I think she got hit in the moter.” We took Angel to the clinic and the vet said she had to be put to sleep.
The third pet I had was a Doberman Pincher. She was the best. All I can say is she died at the age of 11 from bone cancer.
The fourth pet I had was another Doberman Pincher. He had heart worm disease. He had to be put to sleep.

Answer by BYB’s (BYBs) Have Gigantic Hunts If you are “running out of strength to fight”, then you need to get in touch with a therapist and join a pet loss group immediately.
As humans, we deal with serious emotional trauma and we cope and move on. You don’t “get over it” – you cope, deal with it, and live with it.
I’m very sorry for the diagnosis and the loss. I urge you to talk with someone so you can work through some of the feeings you are having.
Question by ♥♫Ms. Super-Dooper.♫♥: What do you say to a friend whose dog has just been diagnosed with cancer………?
………when you’ve been harassing and nagging her for months to take the dog to a vet for a check-up? I’ve got a screaming urge to tell her “I told you so”, would that be wrong?

Question by Colleen: I just want to die. Every time I try to find answers to questions, I get doors shut in my face.?
I have been so sick with my ulcerative colitis and gastroparesis, and I am so tired of dealing with it. There is never enough money to go around. My best friend (my dog Gunner) has osteosarcoma and I did not have enough money to help him out and I had to put hime down Saturday. My heart is so heavy right now, I have nothing more to live for. It truly sucks to be me. I could not even pay for my two children to go to college, they had to take out financial aid loans. I am truly a poor excuse for a mother, etc.

Question by Riley B: My Dog Just Died…………….?
Today we had to put my 9yr old teacup Chihuahua to sleep. He was sick with Lymphoma (cancer), and after a long battle with Keomo therapy, he was losing the battle. Ive had dozens of pets in my life, all very dear to me, and Ive had many of them euthanized. But putting Buddy down today, was no doubt the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my life. Ive been bawling my eyes out every since 12pm, when we returned from the vet. Ive never felt this sad about an animal before, in my life. He was my favorite boy, and now I miss him so much. We rescued him 6 years ago, and out of my whole family, it was always me he wanted to be with. Which is what makes this seperation even worse. I try to keep telling myself that to let him keep living in the condition he was in would have been cruel and unfair, and that putting him to sleep was the most humane and loving thing I could have possibly done for him. But unfortunatley, thats enough to get me through this. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me feel better? I cant look at photographs or his old toys or bed, for it only makes me cry harder. Ive truly never felt this strong about an animal before, and would love a little help? Any advice will do, if you have gone through this too, those will probably make the best answers. Thank you so much:)

Question by desperatedesirex3: I read this on a website about spaying dogs and I just want to know if it’s true..?
On the negative side, spaying female dogs
• if done before 1 year of age, significantly increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer); this is a
common cancer in larger breeds with a poor prognosis
• increases the risk of splenic hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 2.2 and cardiac hemangiosarcoma by
a factor of >5; this is a common cancer and major cause of death in some breeds
• triples the risk of hypothyroidism
• increases the risk of obesity by a factor of 1.6-2, a common health problem in dogs with many
associated health problems
• causes urinary “spay incontinence” in 4-20% of female dogs
• increases the risk of persistent or recurring urinary tract infections by a factor of 3-4
• increases the risk of recessed vulva, vaginal dermatitis, and vaginitis, especially for female dogs
spayed before puberty
• doubles the small risk (<1%) of urinary tract tumors
• increases the risk of orthopedic disorders
• increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations
Question by Wheels †Bark At The Moon†: Should I even bother with this or just let them be ill informed?
I posted a link to a blog explaining the fallacies with the Pedigree Dogs documentary. This one person responded with:
It’s actually not a myth if you just break it down to simple mathematics. But whatever. A bulldog from a reputable breeder is STILL A BULLDOG. There is no such thing as a “healthy” bulldog to be honest lol. Same goes for a lot of breeds. I could list the things that purebreds get that a mutt MAY get, but because it is a mix the odds go way down.
This being said- I currently own a future cancer factory (Golden Retriever) so I’m not being biased. As much as I love her, it wasn’t my choice to get her for the very fact that lymphoma is in her future without question almost.
I was DUMBFOUNDED! Should I respond to this or forget it?
Every single video I make is always very heart-wrenching and I never am able to get through them without tears but this video was by far one of the hardest I ever had to make. Please listen to the lyrics when you think of Trey’s story and please read his story below and on his foundation website. He was such a great kid and I can’t imagine how much his family and friends miss him. I know it has to be such a lesser place without him. I didn’t even know him and I miss him. When you think of Trey several words come to mind. Most of all friend, funny, and laughter. Trey loved to laugh and loved making others laugh. Trey Foote was a normal 17 year old boy. He loved sports, wakeboarding, laughing, spending time with his family and most of all to smile. Trey loved to laugh and make those around him laugh as well. He was always ready with a joke or funny saying. October 19, 2004, was the last day Trey was cancer free. On October 20, 2004, he went to the doctor with a lump on his leg and by the end of the day he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. Trey endured two years of chemotherapy, a partial amputation of his leg and three major surgeries in hopes to be cured. On Thursday, October 19th 2006 at 5 AM Trey flew away to be with Jesus. He is now completely healed, restored and well. In the two year he battled cancer he never felt sorry for himself. Instead he focused on living each day. In the words of his friends “Trey never wanted to be viewed as sick or weak”, which he never was …
The boys have been getting time in the pool almost everyday since we put it up. Gramma Mac usually sits and reads while one of us is in the pool with them. Here is a typical fun time in the pool. You can see that Ben is doing really well with his arm rehabilitation. He should be done with chemotherapy in late August, early September. Video Rating: 5 / 5
