DianeFG Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 He has been slowing down. Not himself, not eating, not wanting to go for walks and not interested in romping in the backyard any longer and had lost 7 pounds *which I knew*. Yesterday he attacked Merlin and put a puncture hole in Merlin's check. I decided I needed to take him to the vet because obviously something was wrong. I spoke with my dog walker and she informed me Goods went after Merlin the day before as well but hadn't had a chance to tell me. NOT like Goods at all. He was the most gentle dog I've ever know. I took him to the vet, she looked him over and said given his loss of vision and hearing, that can make a dog confused and maybe he just became startled and struck out at Merlin. Then after a bit more investigating she suggested xrays. The xray of his hip showed a tumor. She explained to me that by the time a tumor shows up like this one has on xray the prognosis is bad as well as painful. I chose to end any pain for him and sent him to see Fudgie and Sassy at the Bridge.

LakeshoreGreys Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Oh, Diane, as soon as I saw the name I was afraid it was *your* Goods. He must have been in a lot of pain to go after Merlin. Know that you did the right thing and that he is pain-free and at peace now with his buddy Fudgie, and Sassy. Hugs to you!
