Rocky has stopped eating (update: he ate!!!)

[Kirsten]

Just spoke to Reinhold, and he told me that Rocky has stopped eating two days ago. He's not even eating his treats, and he doesn't like to get up... so I guess we should better be prepared.

He's 12 years and 8 months old, and on Christmas 2005 we've been told by his vet he would soon go to the Bridge, but he overcame his crisis (enlarged Spleen gland, most likely from cancer) and recovered. Even when I saw him last Sunday he was in a good condition, but now it seems he's declining...

Please keep him in this thoughts...


This was him on Sunday:

I'm so sorry!! Thoughts and prayers are going out right now for all of you, Feel better Handsome Man!!!

[Kirsten]

Thank you, it's very appreciated.

I think it all depends on his will to fight (as he did the last time). But I think when he has decided that his time has come, we should accept it...

I just love that boy. I will keep you, Rocky, and his owners and of course Emma in my thoughts and prayers. ((((big hugs to you all especially Rocky)))) please give that handsome boy a hug for me when you see him.

[cyber-sibes]

(((hugs))) to that handsome rottie boy. If this isn't his time, I hope he feels better soon.
If this is his time, I pray his journey to the Bridge is peaceful. After suffering so much, it will be a relief not to be sick anymore.
My thoughts & prayers are with him & your family.

Oh no, Kristen! Prayers for Rocky man on the way...

Kirsten, Rocky is a beautiful boy. 12 years, for a boy of his size, is a good life. Thank you for loving him and accepting that it might be his time to go.

I have been dreading the day you posted something like this, as I could tell by the way his body looks it would be some day soon

If it's his time, I hope he passes peacefully. But I really do hope he has a little fight left...Emma is going to miss him terribly.

Please do keep us updated on him.

Aww Rocky We all know what is waiting for all of us at the end of our
earthly journey. It doesn't make it any better & it's always a sad time when
we see our dear animal friends decline. Feel better soon sweet boy.

I'm so sorry Kirsten.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry to hear this. Like so many others here, I have a huge soft spot for this big handsome boy. {{{Hugs}}} to you and your family, and {{{gentle hugs}}} to Rocky.

[buttercup132]

Oh no not Rocky.
I hope he's just feeling under the weather.

[chocolatepuppy]

I'm so sorry to hear it may be Rockys time. My thoughts and prayers will be with Rocky and all who love him.

ARGH, the pains of them getting old with the threat of things like this always hanging over your head. I feel for you. I had it with Mist and now have it with Jess. She's ok at the moment but, as you know, they can take a bad turn at anytime.

I hope, if it is Rocky's time, that he goes peacefully and without pain. Maybe it isn't yet though, he might just be going through a rough patch......
