This is a thread devoted to my baby boy Powder. He was run over by a car and had to have a hip replaced a few years ago. Whenever the weather changes, or it rains he has really bad arthirtis to the point that he cant move, cant get off the bed, cant go potty, cant go get water, cant play. all he can do is sit on the bed or pillow and shake cause he hurts so much. he started taking some mild pain killers in the beginning, but now, he has to have post-op pain killers, his pain has gotten so bad. He turned 7 this past may (human years), and now he has a really hard time breathing. weve taken him to the doc to see why it is that he cant breathe. theres been x-rays, athsma treatment, tested him for canine infuenza, tb, anything and everything we can think of that might affect his breathing, but the docs havent found what could be causing him to breathe so hard, and if you put your ear to his chest, you can hear a low rumbling like he has phlem or something in his lungs. he had a tumor removed from his foot about two years ago, and we think, he might have some kind of cancer in his lungs, but we cant be sure. I dont know what to do, hes the sweetest baby you could ever ask for, and i dont want to put him down, but id rather he go back to doggie heaven than he suffer here on this earth. Hes had the best life my sis and i have been able to give him, and i knew one day he was gonna have to back to goddesses arms, but im not ready to let him go. hes only known love and affecton his entire life and hes spoiled beyond belief, but hes my baby. i havent been able to stop crying thinking about me waking up the rest of my life and not seeing him smile at me and feeling his beautiful little face between my hands. we discussed giving him up to the spca, or sending him to some sort of rescue organization where he can get treatment, or at least somewhere where his needs will be met, but hes never been away from home for more than one night, and i dont think its fair to him to be taken away from the only home hes ever known and the only mommies that have ever taken care of him. i dont know what to do. my heart literally hurts just thinking about handing him over to strangers. i dont think i could take watching him being taken away. we cant afford to give him too much more than his pain meds and his breathing treatments,whic arent helping. so im at a loss over what the best thing for him will be. i will try my hardest to make his life as comfortable as possible until i see that it is not in his best intrest to continue being here with us. so i wanted to share with all of you guys his pictures and ask yall to send all the good thoughts yall can muster to him and his getting better or at the very least he be the happies baby for the rest of his days.
