So sad today
My dog Tuesday is a 15-17 year old American Eskimo Dog. I believe today will be his last, Friday we went to the vet for what we thought was a soft tissue injury of his neck and or shoulder. Last night we made a trip to the emergency vet at 2:00 AM because he was having difficulty breathing and was a bit cyanotic. His O2 sat rate was only 91%. They put him on oxygen for an hour and he improved. Unfortunately I could not afford to hospitalize him in a oxygen cage nor start him on IV fluids. I took him home and he doesn't seem in pain but his respiratory effort is disturbing either much to hard or much too shallow and quick. He will not take water so I need to force it, he will not take food, and I let that go. Ms Lily, my American Bulldog, is glued to his side. He is laying on my bed, looking out the window at the squirrels and the birds and breathing the nice cool air. I am so heart broken, he is such a good dog. I love him.
