I was out with the family taking our dogs for a walk two days ago. Everything was going great and had no problems at all. Suddenly, my older dog who is (14), didnt want to walk anymore, she just laid down on her side and she had a bunch of drool coming from her mouth. I tried to get her up but she just wouldnt move. I let her lay there for about 5 minutes thinking she was just tired from the walk, although we had not gone that far. After that 5 minutes she didnt get any better so I carried her to the car which like 100 yards away and we rushed her to the vet.
Several test later (X-rays, ultra sound, blood work, etc) they say that they cannot find anything wrong with her. No cancer, blood work came back fine, etc. Our other option was to keep her there overnight for observation and see what happens. My wife and I thought, no way, she is coming home, and if she is going to pass away it will be with us.
The past two days she has just laid in bed and only got up to go to the restroom. She has eaten a little bit but not much. I fear that old age is finally getting to her and she doesnt have many days left. Literally, the day before this happened she was running around and playing without a care in the world.
So, if you have a pet, give them some extra love tonight as things can turn around on a moments notice.
