Pics and sad news

[Daisy and Delilah]

Blue is a gorgeous fella. I love all the pictures of him. He is a big sweetheart. I hope his vet can just remove the spleen and he gets to stay around for alot longer.

If we had known earlier then a splenectomy could have been arranged. Right now he has bled out too much, his age seems to be affecting him more then it should be. If we went ahead with it chances are he would still die (possibly sooner) and he would only be able to enjoy a little quality of life, if any. I really want to do anything to make him better but sometimes the best way to help them is to make them comfortable.

Blue is seven years old, at age six (for his size) they are considered seniors.

He is still going strong, still smiles, still eats, still drinks, still goes to the washroom, still wants to cuddle and he is still going. Until it seems painful or seems to be too much we will let him live.

I'm so sorry about Blue. He's such a pretty boy and it sucks so much that he's sick. (((HUGS))) to you and Blue; you'll be in my thoughts.

Blue will have to be checked by his vet to see if he could withstand the surgery. All organs must be functioning properly. Perhaps his vet can determine that he is sound enough to still have the surgery. What breed is he? Some breeds live to the early twenties. I have two senior girls myself. Delilah will be 10 this year and Daisy is 8.

Does his vet think it's too late? I hope you can have him around for alot longer. Best wishes for him.

I'm so sorry to hear about Blue. Why can the spleen not be removed? 7yrs is not that old.

larger breeds are considered "older" sooner than small breeds... Sibes are considered to have a life span of 10-12.. I´ve had them up to 14

There is always a chance,I would speak to another vet and see what could be done,My RB Anna was 13 years old when she had a tumor removed.She did fine through Surgery,And she lived for 6 months after,Mind you she did have Cancer,And in the end it was not the Cancer that we had to let her go,She lost her back end...

I wish you and Blue the best,And i wish you many more years with your Boy!
