After a 13 month long battle with cancer and heart failure, we lost Gus and i sent him to the bridge almost 6 months ago today.
During that time, his brother Elvis (not littermate) became ill, and what we thought was cushings disease ...drinking tons of water, peeing everywhere, shivering, hairloss, etc. I now think was a tumor on his brain.
Over the course of 6 months I watched my baby deteriorate and lose 25 pounds....he was a little heavy at 65 but he basically stopped eating and drinking and I sustained him on canned food mixed with water for the last two months. He would circle around and get stuck in corners, or I would find him staring off into space. His head would bounce up and down and his eyes seemed to roll back in his head when he would look at you sometimes. He had 2 or 3 episodes of diarreah with blood in them, but he always recovered. Not this last time. My boy was 39.5 pounds when I sent him to the bridge yesterday at 230pm. I did everything I could to take care of him but he became almost a shell of a dog in the last week, sleeping most 23 hours of the day and so weak.
Now he can run free with Gus in heaven forever. We miss him terribly and they will be in our hearts forever. Please think of my boys and say a prayer for them both.
