    My sweet silver lab started losing weight, vomiting, and diarrhea two weeks ago. Stayed at one vet for a week, thought it was pancreatitis. Moved her to her regular Birmingham vet with ultrasound. Saw mass and did surgery today. Due to the size of the tumor on her liver and the damage it had done, I had to okay them not to wake her up. Now I have to finish my work day and go home and tell my kids. Always thought that with the fancy bloodwork we got at her check ups that something like this wouldn't happen to me. I wasn't prepared for this. I really wanted to take her to the beach one more time. She was only seven.

    I had the exact thing happen to an 11 year old black lab almost 2 years ago to the day. The vet kept saying pancreatitis and treating it as such. After about a week she was not getting any better and died right after I visited her. It may seem silly, but I know that she hung on until I got there. Still brings tears (a lot of them) to my eyes. The vet could not figure it out and did an autopsy and found a liver tumor. Very tough situation; I feel for you and your family. Get another lab; they are great friends.

    Very sorry to hear it. My dog Dewey (picture under my name in Bama jersey) went through that about 1 1/2 yr ago. I had to let him go after the suffering was too much. I know how you feel..and I'm very sorry..I will never get over it. Someone sent the following poem to me when I posted about my loss...I hope it helps. http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm

    A Japanese Chin? Don't see those very often.

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. I have a 7-year-old chocolate lab. I can't imagine what it will be like when we have to say goodbye to her.

  • Very sorry to hear about your loss. We got a silver lab two years ago from a breeder in Mississippi. She's beautiful but still a complete terror to anything, such as multiple Christmas presents left by the UPS driver that ended up digested. Hope to see that two year ok'd transition soon. Would be happy to forward the breeder's contact information if you need it. Take care.

  • Thanks so much guys. Amazing how a football board can lend so much support. My kids are doing fine. Easiest way for me to cope was to spend time on Internet finding a new pup of her kind. Somehow, it's making it easier, but not looking to replace her, just make new memories for my family. My husband buried her next to her brother on our creek.

  • Sorry for your loss, prayers are to you and your family. Dogs and pets for that matter are just like family members IMO. I have a Retriever/Lab that is 3 1/2. Great dog and for sure dogs are mans best friend. Most loyal dog I have ever had. Sorry again.

  • That's rough...I hate it for you...

    Cats and dogs are people too, and just as important to a family, it's so painful, but be thankful your girl went in peace to the happiest place in the Universe...

  • So sorry man. My dogs are my family. I'd kill/die for them. Try to find the poem "The Rainbow Bridge" for the kids, but be ready for the water works. Also, when your ready, consider a shelter dog or rescue. I have 3 and they are great. Prayers sent.

    Update guys 2012 needs to perk up for me. Day after my sweet girl died, I picked a new one just like her who is being sent from Nevada. Her name is Jessie. Kids are super excited. I do have best of both worlds. I have two rescued dogs one of which had heart worms we had to cure when she came to us. I love them too but needed a new silver lab something awful. Now for more bad news, The day after Fortune died And the same day I found Jessie, I was admitted to hospital and had my appendix out today! So 2012 needs to get better! Thanks for all the prayers and support.

    I'm so bummed I have the cutest pic of Jessie to post. They have blue eyes as pups. Problem is my iPhone is all I have access to in this hospital bed and I can't seem to figure out any way to post it.
