Did you post your sway somewhere ?
Panther : Oh dear, it's terrible. I know what it's like to loose an animal. I've lost almost all the cats that grew with me these last few years and it's so hard to see them go ! I told myself the same thing, they won't play with my girls ! One of the last to go had almost the same kind of problem than your dog. She was feeling a bit unwell, was treated for some digestive illness. But she didn't bounce back after that, she continued to waste away. She was more and more tired, slept at all times, ate less... I knew she was at her wit ends but I was still suprised... They did lots of tests and didn't find anything. Then suddenly a young student thought about looking her lungs although she was breathing just fine... And there it was : terminal lung cancer, all silent and unnoticed but there. Her lungs were basically ruined. Came out of the blue. They asked what to do and my grandmother told them to end it. I was still numb. In 48 hours the cat was gone and I couldn't speak to her one last time. I miss her a lot. Sometimes you wonder why they can't live a full human lifespan at your side.
