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

[Kirsten]

Just spoke to my mother again. Rocky is still eating, but has diarrhea (which he often has lately). We also noticed that his fur is getting reddish, and we were told this is a sign that his liver isn't working. This is also what his vet said (that his liver is enlarged). I don't know if meds would still help, or if they would only prolong his suffering. Rocky's vet is one of those who believe that "nature should just do its work" when an animal is that old.

Rocky has had a long life for a large dog, I tend to agree with your Mom's vet. I hope Rocky has some more happy days till his time is here.
