Katandsnoopy | 02-19-2010 02:34 PM | With a heavy heart I write this, little no name was diagnosed with a severe liver disorder that could only be survived with a $1000.00 procedure (liver replacement surgery, a biopsy, and a 2 week stay at the vet emergency hospital) and the rest of his life contained and drugged. The breeder and I came to the consensus that he will be put down :'(
Everytime he ate his liver became badly bloated and pushed on his stomach. He is much to fragile to survive the treatment and surgery, the vet said he had about a 15% chance of fully recovering.
As much as I would love to save him, he would not live life to it's fullest.
The breeder has kindly offered to give me another pup for only the cost of the vet bill ($150 because of all the extra genetic tests, x-rays, ect... vs $600) I sadly accepted because I know no name (dubbed Junior) would want his buddies to have a good home.
I am going tomorrow (Junior will be euthanized tomorrow morning) evening to see his fellow littermates, and hopefully find a match for me.
I feel like I am turning my back on Junior and it may look like that to others but I love Junior....and there is nothing I can do but love his on his last day. RIP little Junior.
