For the past ... 2 weeks or so my family and I have noticed a big difference in my dog. This past week has been horrible. Sometimes he can't get up by himself when he's been lying down. He walks weird... Sometimes he loses balance when he falls and we figured it was cuz of old age (hes almost 14)
I also noticed that like, his left back paw/leg is like swollen and is significantly bigger than the right one...
It's juss so painful to see him like that, knowing that like a year ago he was still running around like he was young. He used to have so much energy...
Today my parents and my brother took him to the vet and the vet said he has cancer. So that means he's not going to last long. He said he's only going to get worse. So now we have to consider putting him to sleep so he doesn't suffer anymore than he has to. Right now he's juss lying down and he looks at me.. and tears juss stream down my face cuz I knew this day would come some day. I know dogs can't live forever. But shit man, casi 14 years of living with a dog and now this.. thats longer than I've known my brother. He's really like a member of the family, my whole family loves my dog so much, he's such a sweetheart. And I feel so bad for him, I had no idea he had cancer. :(
I wish I could do something to help him but there's nothing I can do. He doesn't even want to eat anymore. He would only eat soft treats like a week ago and now it's down to no treats. He only eats like cheese and stuff, which of course isn't the healthiest thing for a dog but the vet said to give him whatever he wants now. I wish I could turn back time and see him how he used to be. I juss wanna hold him forever. I don't wanna see him getting injected and watch him slowly fall out of consciousness...until his death. I was like starving a couple hours ago and now my mom juss brought food and ... i dont even feel my stomach. all i feel is like difficulty breathing and a wet face. salty tears. Im gonna miss my dog so much. FUCK A NIGGA NAMED DEATH.
