Sad News Today
One of my puppies has failed to thrive and since weaning began last week he has been losing ground. He was x-rayed yesterday and the results sent off to the vet college in Dublin.He has megaoesophagus.
No cure, no treatment, no future.
However, the vet won't put him down for now as he is not in pain. Yet. He faces increasing discomfort and any day could catch pneumonia if any of my attempts to get liquid into him go wrong and hit the lungs. He's such a happy little chap too, but all I can do is the best I can until it all becomes too much for him.

Re: Sad News Today
Sorry to hear about the puppy's condition Dalmagirl.We do attatch ourselves to animals just like family members and when things start to go wrong it does effect us badly.
I have to agree with Dinahsmum a bit here. I think you should do everything to make life comfortable for the puppy but just let him slip away peacefully.
One thing that you can be sure of though is that he will live on in your memories.
