my yorkie had cushings after reading the cushings disease forum i felt i had to write this. Towser was 12 before he was diagnosed with the disease. He was lazy , had bad eyes that would get really sore and a bad coat of fur with dry skin. he was put on a course of treatment but seemed to have a different prob each time the medication was changed. he lost his shine! And his life 2 weeks ago and its the hardest thing i have had to deal with. he looked at me when i found him in my study laying in the floor facing the wall. then i found him practically laying in his water bowl and knew something wasn't right. i wanted to take him to the vet but previous experience told me to starve him for 24 hours and see how he was, as he would be sick. I looked at him and said is it time old boy and he collapsed on his bed. i left the room to check on tea as friends were coming round this was 6pm . my wife called me through and said i think you need to check towser just as friends were arriving and he had gone. i hate myself for not being there at the end. he gave me 13 years and i wasn't there a the end. that really hurts. |
I am so sorry. You gave him 13 years of love and that's what counts. I lost my 12 year old pom to Cushings in February. It is a horrible disease, where the medicines can be worse than the disease. With my Pom I took her in on her final day because she couldn't breathe very well, they told me to leave her and they would call in a couple of hours after they had given her some oxygen and shots to get fluids off her lungs. My Vet called an hour later and said she had stopped breathing but restarted her self and I said let her go if she stops again and I would be there in 20 minutes. By the time I got there the vet said she had stopped again but was restarting as I sat there, but she was unresponsive to my touching her eyes and the vet then gave her the injection. So even though I was there she didn't know it, but she knew just as yours did how much we loved them. Hugs |
