I posted about my mostly Presa Canario in that thread. This morning around 7:45 EST something happened to him. He was fine then he made a noise and vomited. He thrashed about in what I initially thought was his back scratching routine but then I realized it looked like he had lost control of his muscles. He started breathing really hard. I tried calling the vet but they weren't open yet so I thought I'll take him to the emergency animal hospital. He's so big I had to get the neighbor to help me lift him into the backseat of my truck. Louis is no longer alive. He either died on the way to the vet or he was already dead when we put him in the truck. It had to be an aneurysm, or heart attack. He was 7 years old. Just needed to share. I'm missing the big idiot.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
:rose: Very sorry to hear, they really are members of the family, and being so young... :(( Our pup who's 12 1/2, was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. It was alot more difficult to process than I thought it could be. She's old, but still my little girl. You have my sympathies.

:rose: You have my utmost condolences...so unexpected too! :sigh: I have an 8 y/o cocker and already know how much it's going to crush the wife and admittedly myself when he is gone. Until then, we make the most of each day and appreciate the joy he brings. Remember the good times.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences too. I know what it is like, I had to bring my 13-year-old Westie, Scoon, the rescue dog to the vet to end his suffering, when he stopped eating and could not walk any more. I cried all the way home. They are little thieves. They steal your heart and then leave too soon.

I am so sorry for your loss :rose: Mark. I went through the same thing recently with my greyhound Hera. Over a four day period she went from being fine to crying every time she tried to get up or walk. We discovered she had osteosarcoma (bone cancer), and had fractured her shoulder where the cancerous lesions had weakened it. The suddenness of it all gave us no time to come to terms, and it's been rough.

The only issue with keeping pets, they die and we need to deal with that! And the giant dogs do not have a long life span but 7 seems a little early. Thankfully our 2 labs have a decade or so in them. Let the sun shine on his soul and some joy return to your life.

:rose: I am so sorry for your loss. Every dog goes to heaven - for good reason!

Because they come from Heaven to teach us humans life’s most important lessons.

Hey Mark. So sorry for your loss. Must have been a real shock to have that happen so unexpectedly. We also lost a dog over the weekend. We had the vet around to put our 14-year-old Working Cocker Spaniel, Cassie, to sleep. She's been sick for a while with chronic pancreatitis. I miss her so much. They're such a big part of our lives and leave a huge whole when they go. My thoughts and condolences are with you for the loss of your Louis.
