Turner was one of those dogs who picked up things off the ground and ate them. The funny thing is, they gave him the antibiotic Metronidazole about three weeks ago after doing blood work to try to diagnose the then daily vomiting, and as long as he was on it, the vomiting foam each morning stopped. It could have been an entirely different issue that led us to discover the tumor. If so I'm grateful for it because I wouldn't want him to get to the point where the tumor had strangulated his organs. He played yesterday so I know he felt at least that good before he died and seemed to feel at least okay today. |
It does sound like it was just an incidental finding...thank goodness because he would have really been in pain at some point.
Oh and yes, when you look back you will realize that it was a gift that it happened this way and that he didn't suffer and that he was happy up until it was time to go. I know it is terribly painful now, but it will get better...although we never totally get past it. I just hold on to the thought that one day I will see my babies again.
