Yorkie- 18 years, about 5lbs. As a puppy he had some sort of liver problem and was sent home to die, he recovered and never had another problem, idk what was wrong. He was fed beneful and mighty dog and some people food. He only had problems for the last year or so, lost control of his bladder and was senile, we had him put to sleep when he lost control of his bowels. He did many things that should have killed him over the years, peeing on the light socket, walking off the deck into the recycling bin (senile), and other things.
Mutt- 18, about 30lbs, we had her at the same time as the yorkie. She was very healthy until the end, her decline was over a few days. Prior to that her only problem was fatty tumors. We had her put to sleep, she couldn't move, panting, confused.
Poodle- 14.5, 13lbs. Healthy except for fatty tumors, declined over one day. We don't know what happened. Her whole life she acted like an old lady.
Poodle- 15.5, 13lbs littermate with the other poodle. She had epilepsy and the last 1.5 years had CHF. Prior to the CHF she ran around and bounced like a puppy.
We've been very lucky and I hope our luck continues. |
