Boxer Pal
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.. forgive me.
Just to let you know my story TY my boxer is prone for taking fits or what we are told are fits but ever since my boxer pup was a few months old he was taking fits... falling down outside in the garden, staring into space.
just recently its been getting worse, in the last year he has alot of fits resulting in him taking BETA Blockers and Diasapan.
Today my life took a beating... I got a phone call at work telling my TY (my brindle boxer boy) was panting hard and making yapping sounds, i heard it myself on the phone and i instantly thought of the worst.. well i was right to
i came in the front door with TY in his cage with his head right up against the cage back wall.. he was breathing funny he had sickness,urine and poo over him his eyes were fixed infront of him he didnt even acknowledge me or my voice.. i got him out of his cage and gave him a rectal diasapan but that didnt help so i got on the phone to the vet but they couldnt come out so i had to get a taxi there.... news wasnt good the vet gave me three options
1. put him on a drip and see if he eventually comes out of the state.
2. send him to glasgow so that they can give him a full check up to see whats happening
3. you guessed it, put him down
We already spend £1000 getting his head scanned to check for tumors but everthing was clear, so at this point i wasnt sure what to do... the look in TYs eyes is that he just wasnt there and with him yelping with this fit i felt he was in pain... he was laying on the vets table absolutley spaced out his eyes were twitching from left to right..
i was in tears because i knew what i had to do and it was so hard because i wanted him to be alright but i didnt want this to have a effect on his brain and change him completley... he was just laying there helpless just didnt seem like he was my dog.... so i choose for letting him go, was the hardest decision ive ever made in my life...
I loved him so much he was the best dog i have ever had
I just can stop crying
thanks for letting me open up here, i really appreciate it
