  • my boy didn't make it to 7

    My boy, Chaos, was put down Friday.
    I got a lot of great help from this forum for him over the years as he was always having some type of medical issue throughout his life, so thanks to everyone.

    He started 10 days ago with an unknown fever. After about 3 days of 104.5 on average, not eating, I took him in and he stayed overnight with fluids and tons of tests. They couldn't figure out the fever. xrays showed no obstruction, etc.. Then, that second day, we ordered an ultrasound and he had tumors covering just about all of his liver and had a huge mass on his spleen. I brought him home and was hoping his fever would just break, which it did, but he just got worse. Took him back as he could barely walk at that point and they worked on him overnight again. Apparently, this type of cancer is common in the large breeds from what my doc was telling me. Anyway, he didn't make, so I had no choice but to put him down. He'll be missed very much as he was my best buddy. His sister is wondering where he is now.

    Anyway, I think i'll be getting my girl an ultrasound about every 6 months from now on as I'm sure if I caught his cancer early, we could have just removed the spleen and removed whatever part of his liver that was being affected, just my guess. Poor guy. RIP Chaos!

    EDIT: please move this to the In Memorial forum, sorry about that.

                              So many of us have had the same difficult endings with previous Danes/dogs . My first died of a cancerous tumor rupture when he was 4. You'll never forget the good memories.
