URGENT! Need some advice, pretty fast! Sick dog - Page 6

Murphy was put down on Wednesday evening.  RIP my man, I'll miss you :(

GSD travels, He was a lucky dog to have you looking out for him. Bless you for all the love and care you gave him, even though he wasn't your personal dog.

God speed beloved Murphy

Ditto what starrchar said. 

 He is no longer suffering, but I know he will be missed.  :(
My condolences.
 

 i am truly sry for ur lose of murphy RIP Murphy. Jim is lucky to have a great friend like u, u were a great friend to help with murphy u did everything u could but jim really should have token care of him, instead of worrying about outside stuff or w.e. u was doing he should have token murphy to the vet first thing. At least now he won't suffer anymore i know if it was my dog i would have token to the vet that day it was happening and do everything i could to see what is rong with him and to see exactly what i can do to save him and if the vet gave me options, depending on them i would have to make my descions on that.

Honestly i am gonna be honest with u my german shepherd justice, he was having the same problem he was pooping out nothing but blood and vommiting it wasn't muscuasy but i thought it might have been stress but then again after i seen he kept popping out blood and throwing up and not eating anything usually he will eat ppl food and he just took it and guarded it and wouldn't eat it at all it was truly upsetting i was so so devistated so i rushed him to the vet he wasn't even drinking really much water either. I took in the sample of the bloody diarrhea which was nothing but blood it wasn't even poop at this point i tried to get a good sample to bring it to the vet. After hours and hours of being there, the vet finally came back and told us a long story about what the diagnosies was he basically had a GI bleed and need a big operation and that happend bcs when he was just a puppy when i got him he was infestest with parasites, which made his intenstines very very weak and sensitive honestly i really do not know what caused the GI bleed to happen but that is what he was diagnosed with along with hip dyplasia bcs of his hips i was truly devistated my only choose was to end his suffering bcs in deed he was suffering he wouldn't eat, drink or anything he would just lay down and not want ot do anything even when i had his ball usually he would be so excited to play but when this was happending he would get up and just go where the ball is and not really do anything he wouldn't even pick it up and play. I am so devistated i lost my best friend that i loved so so much but i realize that he is in a better place now and won't suffer bcs i freaked out when i seen bloody diarrhea and he was vommitting i rushed him to the vet bcs i was afraid that if i didn't he would have passed away here and i wanted to do everything i can to make him better but when the vet told me i couldn't do anthing but surgery had to be done which cost millons of dollars for a surgery like that bcs i asked i couldn't afford it and i am deeply upset and devistated i just am heart broken he was only 1 year and 5 months i rote post on here about my dog justice if u would like to see u can clearly see his hips, its jsut soo upsetting so i understand how u feel but u did everything u could and that is all that matters. At least now he won't suffer anymore or be in any sort of pain  i know what jim is probably going thru i had to put my justice down on saturday of last week its truly hard but i just didn't want to see him suffer and in pain no more
i hope ur doing alitle better it is gonna take time but i am sure murphy is watching over u and jim. I truly am sry for ur lose

Thanks for your kind words, Murphy was a good ambassador for his breed, a really good boy.  I will miss his calm demeanor and his adorble egg head.

I'm taking it easy on Jim, he's having a tough time with this.  He should never have let it go as long as he did, but at least he stayed home with him and handled it.  He told me that Murphy was not even able to walk the last day and that he was not able to stay when they put him down.  I wish he'd have called me, I would have stayed to comfort him.  But at this point, I'm just glad he's no longer suffering.

You are a true-blue friend, Travels. RIP Murphy.

Travels, I'm glad that you were able to get Jim to stay home with Murph and care for him--that itself is huge, given his efforts to deny what was happening...that he 'manned up' and did right by Murphy goes a long way toward redeeming my impressions of your friend.  I too wish Jim had called you though, so you could stay with Murphy, but I'm sure the veterinary staff who helped him cross the Bridge did so with affection and respect. 

Here's to Murphy, healthy and active again in the next realm, eyes squinted half-closed and a big Bullie grin on his face again.

Jersey Girl 22, I'm also sorry to hear you had to let Justice go, too; just remember, you gave him a good life, with the best care possible, and everything you did was in his best interests.  He will always be grateful for that.
