    Regrettably I am updating this post, just to let you all know what happened. After quite a bit of too - and - fro'ing to the vets and back, Max sadly passed away yesterday at home. He went down hill quite fast, and we believe he had cancer. He will be greatly missed.

    You have a special place, Dear Lord
    That I know you'll always keep.
    A special place reserved for dogs,
    To peacefully fall asleep.
    A place with fluffy pillows,
    And a yard for hiding bones,
    With maybe a little babbling creek,
    That rushes over stones.
    With wide green fields and flowers,
    For those who never knew
    Of running, playing freely
    Under sky of perfect blue.
    Lord, I know you keep this special place,
    And so, to you I pray
    For one oh so special dog
    Who came to you today.
    He was full of strength and love,
    And so very, very wise.
    The puppy look he once had,
    This morning left his eyes.
    He will be dearly missed, Lord,
    This special love of mine.
    But now, he'll romp and play
    In your land that's so divine.
    Speak to my baby softly, please
    With a hug and warm hello.
    He's a special gift to you, Dear Lord
    From me - who loves him so.

    So sorry to hear about Max. My sister's dog Oxo died last night with very similiar symptoms..... not eating etc He was a 12 year old Yorkie and we will all miss him.
  • so sorry to hear that. He was a lucky dog though, he had an owner who loved him, and died in a place that was safe and familiar.
    All the best, I know how it can hit you.

    :grouphug:My thoughts are with you
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?
