Our much loved pet dog. - Real Mum story on MoM

9 Comments

I took my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel to the vet the other day for his regular vaccinations and yearly check-up. He has always been a happy healthy little dog and I didn’t have any concerns taking him in. Unfortunately as the vet checked his heart he found that our little dog has a heart problem. Sadly,although this would be operable in humans, it is not operable in dogs.

Our dear little dog now has a rather uncertain future. This condition is common in cavvies and is something I was not really aware of before. We did obtain him from a registered breeder and so I thought we would avoid such problems.

Needless to say the whole family is very sad about this and we are hoping he won’t have too many problems or suffer. I can’t even imagine the day that we will have to say goodbye to him.

Pets become members of the family and we get so attached to them because they always give you undying love and devotion.

Pets become a part of the family so it does hurt when they’re sick.

Thank you ClareBear. We are trying to be positive. Had a cry last night though. But we wouldn’t have missed the time with him, he is gorgeous.

I had a Cavvie that was given to us. He died from what could only be described as a heart attack because it wasnt picked up by us and the previous owner chose not to disclose it. I am glad that you have found out and that you are processing it rather well if I do say so myself. It is heartbreaking when part of your family, feline/canine or human, have medical conditions with uncertain futures. I hope you do not have to say goodbye too soon
