Our beloved Rottweiler, Rain. She’s just been diagnosed with “high grade osteosarcoma” in her jaw. The prognosis is bleak, but for now, she is happy and as you can see, very interested in food. Video Rating: 0 / 5
She had an aggressive form of bone cancer, we had her on pain meds and she was doing just fine. I woke up this morning and she was seizing in her crate. I got her out and she went limp. I could still feel a heartbeat, though she didnt seem to be breathing. I was going to do CPR but she seized again, and died in my arms. The vet is going to a necropsy, to see why, but they fear it was just poor health. I just dont understand it. She was on Morphine for a few weeks now with little or no problem other than being really sleepy. We have been keeping her comfortable and on a low exercise and activity regimen. Shes always had poor health but this was so unexpected. The vet really couldn’t see much when we took her in, no stroke though he couldnt rule out a heartattack quite yet. He thinks it was just “her time to go” as he put it. I trust him very much, but I still feel shocked. I havent even cried yet, I did love her and though shes been more of a pain in the rear, most of her life, I had a sense of duty and connection to her that ran deep. I would never intentionally put her in harms way. Did anyone else do do this on Morphine?
*dog … sorry for the misspell i was in a hurry
my 6 other dogs are doing ok… though Peekaboo is constantly sniffing and laying by her crate. Her and Peek didn’t get along well and its quite odd shes doing this. Makes me a bit teary.
Here is a old scanned photo.
