Please Spare A Thought For Max


Bernie

Recommended Posts

My neighbour has 2 lovely Labs, Ben 14 years old and Max 12. Ben is just an old man with no real health problems except the normal ones of old age, a little stiffness etc. Max bless him the younger of the two has had a cough for a week or so, treated for kennel cough with no improvement, he is also passing blood in his urine and getting very wobbly on his legs. Tomorrow he is going for investigations under GA. Obviously we are very worried non more so than his Mum and Dad and fear the worst. I have known both dogs since they were tiny poopies and love them both dearly. So please say a little prayer for Max and send good thoughts for tomorrow.

Poor Max had some of his tests and it looks like heart and kidney failure. Because of his bad heart condition they wouldn't keep him under anaesthesia for more than a couple of minutes, so X ray of hips weren't done but they realise he has hip problems as well as a possible tumour in the oesophagus. He has to return to the vet again Thursday, in the meantime Mum and Dad are trying to keep him calm and quiet.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts and good wishes they are much appreciated

Well Max has been deteriorating and is now in the Vet Hospital near Chester. He couldn't walk into the reception area without collapsing. They are keeping him in tonight but according to the cardiologist he hasn't much time left even with treatment. Margaret and Tony are going there again tomorrow perhaps to say goodbye to the dear lad. So please keep them in your thoughts.
