Death in the family
This morning, after having my basset hound Sebastian coughing alot of the night, I noticed a large tumor (segmented and bulbus on both sides of his teeth) encapsulating half of his upper palate. He has been doing some aniexty peeing and whining and wanting to be babyed over the last week. He has been grumpy and slow to eat. They had just looked at his teeth 6 weeks ago when I had him in for an eye infection, so the growth was very rapid as it wasn't there then.
I took him to the emergency vet this morning and from the start they knew it didn't look good. XRay showed it was in his throat, and behind his heart. Even the most invasive treatments would only give him a few months so I had him put to sleep this morning.
Johann Sebastian Bach June 22, 1999 - December 6, 2007 He will be sadly missed.
