I am losing my best friend

[The Vector Doctor]

FYI, I have had a frequent autoreply in my email due to several absences. My dog Jake, only 4 years old is in critical condition with possible liver failure. He has gone down hill pretty quick in the past 2 days

I am hoping that he pulls through so we don't have to make a difficult decision. Almost every day for 4+ years he spends 2-3 hours in the morning sitting on my lap while I do work at the computer.

We got him because my wife and kids are severely allergic to dogs/cats but being a Maltese he does not affect them at all. He is the perfect dog for our family and will be missed if he does not make it

I am trying to stay focused and keep my promises/jobs on schedule as much as possible. Forgive me if I am not as quick to respond

our kitty of 4-5 years, SOLO, got to throwing up and not doing anything. took her to the vet and said the cats liver was failing inside of ears and mouth had a yellow cast to em. and was no possibility of her getting better. we pit her down and i have never cryed and screamed over losing any thing. i loved that damn cat!!!

My heart goes out to you Eric. I still think about my lost friend from several years ago now. They are with us for such a short time.

Hang in there Eric. Think "POSITIVE" ... Positive breeds Positive! My thoughts are with you and like JB said...Four-pawed prayers for Jake.

What a handsome little spud! --- Best wishes to Jake for a strong recovery.

We all feel your pain Eric. There's something about pets that really tugs at our emotions. Our previous cat died about 3-4 years ago, and even though she wasn't the friendliest thing, after 11 years it still really hurt. Our present cat is brimming with personality & character, and I actually fear the day when he passes, for it will be very difficult. Let's hope your little guy pulls through ok.

What has the Vet said?

 

[GypsyGraphics]

oh Eric that's just awful, he's so young. i pray he pulls through, and you share many more happy years together.

 

[wedosigns]

WOW! Prayers going to the puppy GODS!
Hang in there!

 

[Dave Drane]

So sorry Eric, and so close to Christmas too. I sincerly hope little Jake pulls through.

 

[FatCat]

Eric, very sorry to hear that and I hope for the best.

I just put my english field cocker "Ernie" down 2 months ago. He was my shadow, road trip buddy and best friend for 14 years. It's amazing how attached we become to our pets...

 

[Bigdawg]

I am so sorry Eric. Hoping for good outcomes!

Sorry mate, I've lost a couple, but he's still kicking(i hope). good luck

 

[BobM]

I can still feel the sadness of having to put our dog down 25 years ago. Strange that after all that time I can remember all the details and how sad we were when the day finally came.

Best of luck Eric.

 

[Fatboy]

Sorry buddy

 

[Marlene]

the critters we share our lives with are our best friends and family members. when one is sick or we have to say good-by, it hurts as we are blessed with the ability to love and care and the most wonderful thing is, they are blessed too and love us just as much. I hope things work out OK.

Sorry to hear this Eric, hope all works out for your best Friend and your family!
