 Mina's best friend
Skittles is our red poodle,he is a lovely boy and so very sweet. Our vet found a heart murmur two weeks ago,he wasn't born with it. He will soon be 10yrs old at 10lbs. I noticed that he was coughing more and more over the past two weeks. So today we did bloodwork and xrays. His liver count is a bit high,he is anemic,but his new redblood cell count is not low,he isn't bleeding inturnally. His heart is round and enlarged enough to take up some of the space that his lungs should be getting.
This is Mina's best friend! He is so good to play with her all she wants,he will take the end of a stuffed toy and drag Mina all over the house with it,they play tug a war with rope and he will even make the ends of the chewies soft for her and then give them to her.
My heart is broken over this,Skittles is my daughters dog and truthfully he was her first love,she is now engaged to a very nice young man. Skittles stayed with us when his mommy moved because he has always been with his two half brothers and she didn't want to take him away from them. He is half brother to my dog that died suddenly last March.
Our vet is taking very good care of Skittles and is a very kind man. I just needed someone to listen to our very sad news.
Thank you |
