Lofarl Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Well this has been a shit 48hrs. Both my dogs taken ill. The younger ones recovered okish but still on the mend. Kaspar the older one took a dramatic turn last night. We had to get him put to sleep at about midnight. I was expecting an iv for fluids and an overnight stay. But he went downhill so rapid. He was only 8. We think it’s been some sort of gastroenteritis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had planned to do Cleugh from there but it started raining when we got to the top of Ben Ever so decided just to head back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 That's the one. Had planned to do Cleugh from there but it started raining when we got to the top of Ben Ever so decided just to head back.Fair fucks man, that’s a walk.

Lofarl Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 https://www.southbostonanimalhospital.com/blog/what-you-should-know-about-hemorrhagic-gastroenteritis-in-dogs This is probably what killed my dog. It’s scary how quick this took him. He was a fit dog. Afghans live to about 12-13. He was in good shape. Woke up about 8, looked a bit sluggish. Was fairly active and alert by noon. By 4 pm it was clear he was ill. Made an appointment for 10am the next day. By 10pm we knew he was in a bad way and was gone just after midnight. Unreal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So approximately just over half his expected age. We’ve had Afghans live to 15. Most get to about 13. The youngest we’ve lost was 11 and that was in September. That was cancer so expected. Two dogs lost in under a year. Since I was a kid I’ve always had at least two or three of them. Never been with just one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
