My lab of 12 years had a stroke lastnight and is now blind in both eyes. He has been the best dog I have ever owned, a true sweetheart. It's such a sad sight to see. The vet said he might have a chance of regaining some vision but most likely not. She said you would be amazed how they can cope with it. Its even worse on him because he's had loss of hearing for a good while now.

Just had to vent about it guys

 

Sorry to hear that man.

 

Bummer man, its hard to see a best bud start to break down.

Sorry to hear about your lab, I know our pets are truly part of the family and when something happens to them we feel the pain, like everything else support goes a long way. when a dog goes blind they can rely on smell pretty good, leave some of your unwashed clothes where they sleep, makes them feel comfortable.

 

Well, Duece got progressively worse last night and today. The fact that he's deaf has really been bad. He had given up his willpower. So we took him back to the vet today. She explained that he woul only get worse and new it. She just wanted us to have some more time together. But when I went to lay with him and he didn't lick my hand I knew he was not all there. I held him while they put him to sleep, then I took him to my parents house and buried on the hill overlooking his favorite spot to play at the lake.

 

man sorry to hear that. i to have a great black lab hes only 3 and i already dont know what i would do with out him

 

oh man. i'm so sorry for your loss. you're doing much better than i would be doing if i lost my chocolate girl (6) or yellow boy (1).

Dogs are a part of the family and a way of life. Very sad to lose a loved one so loyal.

 

I'm an absolute wreck on the inside man unbelievably heartbroken.....

 

I had to do that to my German Shepard. What a terrible day! Very hard thing to do. But i knew when i walked in her kennel she was very sick. Doc said we can do a surgery and see if we can find anything or we can put her down. They go peacefully, never did get her back though With my hrs at work at the time and no one else to get her i couldnt bury her.

 

My heart goes out to you man. Our pets are just like family members. Sad when something happends to them. Sorry for your loss!!
