Deoge had distended body, heart beating outta her body, and couldn’t breathe, kept coughing. it’s not her lungs.

She has the makings of congestive heart failure.

doc put long needle in her body attached with a catheter and pulled 3 cups of water outta her body.

She’s home with up to 4 meds now, comfortable now, kinda outta it after taking them.

if the meds don’t help and the distention comes back, I either keep paying hundreds to keep her alive, or put her down.

I wanted her to die in her own home, but doc said, It would be horrible and you wouldn’t want to see it.

bawling. my running buddy. how could it have been her heart?

I’m heartbroken for you. I love my fur baby so much I don’t know what on Earth I can ever do to deal with it. I don’t think I can handle it. So, I’m so sorry for you. Keep us updated on Deoge’s condition

I spent 300 bucks just to see her some more. I know what you mean, I can’t part with it either.

I had to do the worst. My mums dog was really struggling, my mum couldn’t cope with her. she was 15 almost to the day

she’s doing good now, guys, coughing cuz of the enlarged heart, but not too bad, and body form looks good.

she may have more time in her, if I can afford it.

I won’t get another dog. there’s nobody like Deoge, and I’ll keep trying to compare the new one to her. Not fair.

Her ashes/urn will be in my coffin.

why does everybody gotta move on so fast to another thread?

ah huh. Can’t you share love and loss? Deoge is always the best reason to be a dog, and we share such a connection,

she’d rather be me. ha. I’d rather run a workout with her than anyone. How can it be, her beautiful heart will get her. doc said it would have happened anyway.

I’m still checking this thread when there is a new comment. I’m just not sure what else to say Daze. Your situation sucks. Losing a dog sucks. And I have lost a few.

I’ll back with you if I’m around, if it really is the end.

I didn’t mean to depress you.

15 years is what? A third of your life? I don’t know your age exactly. But it’s a significant percentage of your life. She’s been with you through a lot I’m sure. This can’t be easy. I really feel for you.

yeah, got her at 3 months from a kennel. This is her house, never moved her, except to my mom’s, a few months when the apartment we leased for Phil’s job wouldn’t take pets. it was for his job.
