bird 9,856 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Lost me wife after 40 years marriage , so thats done me, now old Buck got a cancerous lump behind his elbow on his chest. took him to vets Monday , had a biopsy done. Thursday vet phoned said don't know if it malignant . said only way to give him a Op (£ 300-400) , but she did say it lot to put him through at his age as he 12 in august and might be to much for his heart to take. so said leave the Op , she said he could go for another year, or be dead in 6 weeks, so got to see if it grows any more, and starts to hurt him, if so i take him in to pts . ok i knows he old, and vet said didnt think he make 14 like old bryn did. But i am fookin low, he really ticked the boxes for me as lamp dog gave 100% every night freezer full , few foxes brill. it really his temp. very good with people , kids, good with other dogs, be very hard to get a dog again with such a nice temp, thats the real sad thing when he does go. just put this up, as feel low.

Aussie Whip 4,076 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Sorry about Buck, Ray. I think just spend as much time as you can with your dog, everyone knows how much you care for him and that he has had a better life than most dogs. When my best dog got sick I had to leave her in the vets as she couldn't even keep water down but I just wanted to take her home and spend her last days with her but wasn't to be. 1 Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,082 Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Hey up Ray,sounds like your currently going through a tough time matey,very sorry to hear about your wife & now the issue that has arose with Buck,keep on keeping on Ray,enjoy time with family buddy & on a side note Ray old Don of mine has a cancerous lump on his chest,it first surfaced when he was around 10 year's old,although the tumour has recently grown somewhat he's still here & he was 15 gone March. Buck is a tough old dog too & I'd not be surprised if he's still plodding on in a few year's time too..look after thyself & remember nothing lasts forever,not even bad luck/tough times..better day's are ahead Ray of that I can guarantee. All the very best to you & old Buck. 2 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,363 Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Hopefully he got year or so yet Ray. That plonker of mine went on 2 or 3 years after his lump showed. Keep ya chin up Ray Quote Link to post
