Well, I posted before asking for anyone who had a pet that had a swelling abdomen like my minature Dachshund. I took him to the vet on Thursday, and found that he had a bad valve between his right atrium and right ventricle of his heart. Probably a life-long problem but recently the valve has not closed well enough to prevent fluid build-up in his lower abdomen. Anyway, we are giving him meds to reduce the water build-up and heart meds to slow his heart down. I am watching him closely each day but if he appears to be in any pain I will go with him to be put to sleep. I know several of you faithful 4channers have had this experience...please give me some constructive advice for getting through this. I love Oscar so much.Pic related only by the dog's beautiful eyes.
>>48079Do you have a higher rez of that puppy? Plz say yes!
yes
Well I've never had something like this happen to me but I just wanted to say that I hope he gets better and all I can suggest is to try and stay positive (though I know it must be hard :/ ...).
OP here...yes it is. thanks for your sympathy. It is hard, especially hearing from others who totally miss the point.
okay, let me see if i understand this: You get your dog sick, and now your going to kill him? your fucking sick.
>>48257Where the fuck does it say that the OP made the dog sick? Do you fail at fucking reading? Holy shit, Anonymous, you are fucking ignorant.
>>48258Hey, relax. It's just a stupid dog. No need to start a war over it.
Break his little neck, it's the humane thing to do if you're really his pack member.
