T&Ps for my Ash 2nd Update in comments Not good.

linnae939 · July 2014

We are not having good luck with our fur babies this month Gus with his teeth, Lilly ate a bunch of raisins, and now this. Ash is our great dane, and he has been super picky about food lately. Well, this week he stopped eating, our vet had us bring him to Tufts, which is the best veterinary hospital in the area. They had to keep him tonight to do a bunch of tests. I hope they find what's wrong ASAP and fix it! He's supposed to weigh 115-120, he was 94lbs today!!! I am so worried for him. He's only 6, which isn't even old for a great dane.

Here's a picture of our "little" man from our Christmas card.

Sending T&Ps! It's so hard when the furbabies are sick

Snuggle and give lots of love! He's absolutely precious, though!

T&P's to you!!! He's such a cutie

sjs1013 · July 2014

Praying for your pooch!

T&Ps I hope they figure it out.

WillyH19 · July 2014

Sending t&p for a speedy diagnosis and recovery.

islandmonkey8 · July 2014

I hope they figure out what is going on and he's better quickly!

linnae939 · July 2014

UPDATE: His x-rays were clear, there is no blockage, but his ultrasound showed thickening of the stomach wall. They are doing endoscopy to get biopsies to figure out why. He may get to come home tonight with some serious antinausea meds to get him to eat hopefully. The biopsy results will be back on Thursday.

Keep us updated

I'm glad there's not a blockage! Our 3 year old baby ate part of a toy 2 years ago and it got stuck and had to have surgery to have it removed. Hopefully it's something easy to fix! Do you know if they'll give him prescription food?

Keep us updated!

FX it's nothing.

linnae939 · July 2014

They found a mass with the endoscopy. He either has IBS (which we're hoping for) or a tumor. We can pick him up this afternoon, but the results wont be back yet. They are putting him on IBS diet now though in case that's what it is.

ramstein1027 · July 2014

FX that it's just IBS! Hope he gets to feeling better soon with the new diet.

minionlover · July 2014

I hope it's just IBS and not something more serious. FX he's feeling better soon.

xxjen015 · July 2014

@linnae939, keeping him in my thoughts and sending good vibes that it's just IBS! Did they say when they should have the results?

mrshall1027 · July 2014

FX that it is just IBS. I hope you guys get good news soon!

linnae939 · July 2014

Thank you for all your concern. Unfortunately he has gastric carcinoma, pretty much the worst diagnosis we could get. It is inoperable and doesn't respond to chemo. He has stopped eating, and has pretty muched stopped doing everything. We are going to have to let him go today. Thank you for your support.

Here's a picture of him "helping" us with leaves a year or two ago.

catwine · July 2014

Oh no! I'm so sorry for you.

ramstein1027 · July 2014

Oh no, @linnae939, I am so, so sorry. That's such a hard thing to have to do. I can tell by your words and pictures, though, that you gave him a fantastic life. I'll be thinking of you today.

brainybrunette · July 2014

I'm so sorry to hear this. Keeping you in my prayers during this difficult time.

xxjen015 · July 2014

I'm so sorry *hugs* losing a pet is never easy, especially when you have to make the decision sooner than you're ever ready. Lots of love and healing thoughts coming your way.

sjs1013 · July 2014

I am so sorry for your loss. Try to remember all of the happiness Ash brought to you and your H.

So sorry for your loss.

Keeping you guys in my thoughts and sending plenty of virtual hugs.

linnae939 · July 2014

Thank you everyone. Our family feels incomplete. He got so sick so fast, but he probably had it for a lot longer than we know. Thank you for your support.
