Do dogs sometimes run away when dying?

LisaKay — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:12:46 GMT

My loving dog of 16 years was acting very strange two nights ago. He is deaf and does not move around a whole lot anymore. He started barking and running around the house. He ran downstairs (something he hasn't done in at least a year) and back up and stood at the front door hunched over. He was in no condition to run, so that startled us. My dad thought he might throw up or had to go to the bathroom and opened the door. We live in the country and he started running out of the yard and down the road. My dad went after him, but couldn't find him anywhere. In his old age, he has not been one to leave our yard. We have been looking for him and combing the area for two days now, but haven't found him anywhere. I feel so helpless and miss him so much. He was my best friend. Is it common for dogs to run away when they are dying?

Konan died.

DulcedeLeche — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:01:27 GMT

I'm still not over his death- I mean, seriously, how can anyone be comepletely over a pets death? Oh, ya- Konan was/is my cat (I don't know which one to use, cause I believe he's alive-just in Heaven, not Earth). He was no dog. And I'm glad. Personally, I preferr cats to dogs,-but dogs are OK too, I guess. Anyway, Konan was named after Konan the Barbarian (don't ask why, I don't know). On January 21, we got a kitten that is the same breed as him. His name is Murphy. I love him a lot- but I will always have a place in my heart and in my love for Konan. He was the best cat anyone can ever have!

Our Chihuahua was killed by my 17 yr old daughters 18 year old boyfriend. While he was alone in our residence on April 27th he killed our beloved family member. We filed a police report and are contemplating pressing charges.

Any suggestions on what we should do?

missing my little Sonny Boy

wolf~dog — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:15:13 GMT

In February we had to have my miniature schnauzer, Sonny, put to sleep. He had cancer. He was sooo sick. We tried to feed him, but toward the end he could only eat a very small amount. He lost a lot of weight and he was so weak. He could barely breathe and he had some tumors. He was only 8 years old. I miss him sooo much! He was such a sweet little dog. I still dream about him.

Ralphie's mom (penny) got put to sleep

Ralphie's mom — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:01:05 GMT

So My husband and I had taken Penny from one of are friends that felt it was better for her to be with us. Well Penny was never properly soicalized, house broken, no manners new nothing but to be in a truck all day going from state to state. She was some what aggersive towards women and some men, and cats and sometimes other dogs. So I worked with her and worked with her, got her house broken, less aggersive and just worked with her on everything and she was making great improvment. Well my husbands friend decided he wanted her back and was going to continue working with her, I didnt think it was such a great idea cause this man moves from place to place and is always on the road and never has the proper envoriment for a dog, but I couldnt say no because legally she was his dog. So he got her back and everything was fine for a bit until a few days ago he left the dog in the backyard at his friends house and left for a few hours. He says he didnt no there was another dog in the backyard and Penny and the other dog got into a fight and the other dog got seriously hurt. And when the neighbor came over to break up the fight he got bit and had to get stiches. So yesterday morning she was taken and put to sleep. I feel horrible and kind of like its my fault but I tryed. It wasnt pennies fault either because she was never raised the way she should have been. Its my husbands friends fault for not soicalizing the dog and leaving her here and there and just everything the poor dog has been threw. She was just way too far gone for ever fix her 100%. My husband and I are very upset with his friend and we are making sure he never gets another dog so another dog doesnt have to go threw what Penny did. Im not sure if ill ever talk to him again. I feel horrible. But what else can I do? I tryed as much as I could, and its too late now.

My best friends dog...

doglover7 — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 06:27:06 GMT

My best friend since kindergarten has had a dog her whole life. She's a golden retriever named "Molly". The thing is, she's 15 and starting to pee in the house, fall down, etc. I know those aren't good signs. The other day my friend said to me, "I don't want to take Molly to the vet because I'm scared they're going to put her down." I know that she knows that might be coming soon...And her parents told her their not getting another dog...

First of all, what do I say when she says things like that? And second of all, after Molly...passes on...what should I say to comfort her? Sorry, it's just I've never had a bff's dog pass away.Thanks!

My dog Thumper

ezonekorea — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:35:39 GMT

I bought a Pomeranian puppy, he was a boy and was what seemed to me full of life. I named him Thumper and brought him home. He liked to cuddle, and loved attention. It was around 4th of July weekend. I noticed something wrong at first because he had diarrhea. Being that he was a new puppy I knew he may have some parasites. But then things turned worse. He started vomiting. I called the emergency number and I stayed up two nights forcing liquids, food, and sugar to make sure he didn't become Hypoglycemic. I tried so much to keep him alive. I then took him to the vet on Monday, and the bad news came he had Parvo. They said that he could still survive if they kept him hydrated and full of sugar. For a week he was there and it was looking good but then that night he went into a coma, and I decided to have him put down. I did not want him to suffer any more. Although I only had him a week, I loved that little boy. I miss him.

My Heart is Broken...

pitbullsrock28 — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 11:30:29 GMT

For once in a long time I found a dog that meant as much to me as the dog my parents gave away years ago. But this time, for his own good, I had to let him go. I never though a dog would mean as much as Camelot did to me, but finally Ace, the Great Pyrenees entered my home. After the three weeks he has been here, he has made a great impact on me. I love him dearly, but something happened. He began to develop some very bad skin disease and I could not afford the treatment, so I let him go to a Pyrenees rescue who will pay for his treatment, and it is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.

my mom gave my dog away after 9 years!

hudsonsbh — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:33:17 GMT

I got Lakota when I was in th 7th grade, she is my best friend and the only family member I miss when Im not home. everytime my mom got angry at my brother and I she would threaten to give Lakota away, but she never did. I moved out of the house to go to college three years ago and I would come over once a week to play with Lakota and walk her, cus my mom never did. I took her to the vet every month and to the groomers during the summer to get her annual shave. This past month my brother and I got my dad a plane ticket to ny for his birthday and my mom got angry cus we didnt do the same for her. (my parents should be divorced but wont out of spit of each other) After a heated discussion over the phone about how she cant get what ever she wants I get another call from her the next day..she tells me she gave Lakota away. I raced home to see if it was true and it is, I asked her who she gave Lakota to, but she wont tell me. Iv called her work 6 times tonight to try and get her to tell me..but nothing. what should I do? this is completely unfair! How do I get Lakota back? Please help me?

Not Again!

huskies r perfect — Thu, 10 May 2007 15:01:25 GMT

Not about dogs, but still.

I just found out that my brother ran over my new favorite cat, Prissy. She wasn't much older than Jaxon. She was alive, but they had her put to sleep. Every time I love a cat something bad happens to it!

Yes, we're going to get another kitten, because just recently I fell in love with some at the Humane Society. We will either get those or some of my aunt's new kittens, I don't know which. Two of them at the Humane Society are yellow tabbies, two are torties. (I have a real soft spot for yellow tabbies.)

I still love Prissy a lot and always will.

Poor Sammy

yzerman1987 — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 08:31:30 GMT

So here's the story of my beautiful dog, Samson.

Back in August of 2007, my mom and I went to the petstore to buy cat food, and fell in love with this adorable American Eskimo puppy. He was too cute to pass up. So we bought him and thought it would be an awesome surprise for my dad. My dad came home and hated him . He always said it was up to my mom to get a dog, but since it wasn't some huge dog, he didn't like him. I kept him for two months and then I was forced to give him up

I moved to Michigan and in the process brought Samson. Since he couldn't be with me, I thought what better way than to give him to family. That way I can always visit him. So I did. My uncle and his family took him in. They also have thousands of other animals. They have four kids, so I thought that would be great for Samson. I trusted him.....

I visited him all the time. He loved me and always came running when I came over. Sam was living with him for one year. He was bascially just going to board him until I could get my own place. Anyways, I got the worse news on Jan 17, 2009. My grandma came in and told me that Samson had run away along with two of their other dogs. My uncle's story is that someone cut a hole into their fence and the dogs got out. Three dogs took off. Two of them came back (I think they were found by neighbors or something). But not MY dog!! He was only a year old. He would be two this coming March 28.

I will NEVER FORGIVE my uncle and his family. Here's why. Samson ran away Jan 13. I wasn't notified until Jan 17????? They never wanted to tell me It only accidentally slipped out at a meeting that my grandma attended. If someone cut a hole in their fence, it happened during the day (the dogs were there when my uncle left for work), the middle of the day. 4 kids, a mother, grandmother and uncle living in that house. Not one person noticed anything????

They got 4 kids, three daughters and a son. I have a theory that their son did something....but I won't get into it. He's only 11, but he's more troubled than any kid I know....

No one will tell me the truth as to what happened to Samson that day. I hear a different story every week. First my aunt tells me he wasn't wearing a collar. Then the following week my uncle says he was wearing a collar. Then they told me they found him dead on the express way. Then the next week, it turned out it was only fur, no body......

I give up...I just miss him . If you can't trust family to watch your dog, who's left??

Had I been notified sooner, I could have helped look for him.

Here, I made a video for him, but I can't get it to show up in the post, so not sure what's going on.

Tabitha is in heaven!

Murphy's Mom — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:31:52 GMT

I lost my Yorkie Poo of 16 years. They say that it is easier if you get a puppy/dog before your older dog passes away I don't know? My new puppy has some large shoes to fill. Don't get me wrong I love my new puppy but wish I still had Tabitha. Two very different dogs. Tabitha was a yorkie poo and Murphy is a Goldendoodle.

My poor Sandy drowned

IloveSammy — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 18:56:29 GMT

I let her out and when I went to check on her,she was floating in my pool.I tried performing CPR but it was to late.I didn't know what to do or who to call.There were no adults in my house at all.I waited for my mom to come,and that's all I could do.We only had her for 2 months,and she was 5 or 6 months old.I feel so horrible.I just hate that there's nothing I could do to stop it from happening.I know that she is in heaven right now earning her wings.RIP Sandy,I miss and love you very much.

Help

bear77pak — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:09:49 GMT

I am hoping someone can help me or give me some advice.

I own 2 dogs until recently. I had to put my 1 dog down last Thursday due to a stroke. She lived to be 14 yrs old. She had a great life.

The problem is my other dog, Bear. He has never been by himself before and I am very worried about him. He has been acting fine up until late Saturday night. I can just tell by his expressions that he is sad/lost/lonely. The only thing that I have taken away that was my other dog (Misty) is her food bowl.

I just need to know what I can do for my Bear? Also, is it to soon to wash the blankets that Misty slept on? I am trying to make this as easy as possible for Bear.

Any advice will be appreciated.

DeeDee died Christmas morning

Momma2DeeDee — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 10:56:41 GMT

Our beloved blond greyhound, DeeDee (aka "Kid's Dima" in the racing world) died early Christmas morning with her head in my arms as I sang her "her" special songs.

It was the 10th Christmas without our dearly beloved daughter Lora Beth (who was killed 5/22/99). While we have 3 other dogs & 1 cat (Lora's), it was when we rescued DeeDee three years ago that I finally started smiling again. She came off the track in 2004, but her first "adoptive" home abused & neglected her. A year later, the rescue agency had reclaimed her and needed a permanent home for her. She came to visit us with her foster mom (we have a large fenced back yard, and she needed some room for her running legs). I knelt down on the grass and called her to me -- she came barreling at me full-speed, knocked me over, planted one foot on each side of my face, and washed my face with her kisses. Looking up from the ground, I told her foster mom, "Just leave her.... she's home."

In May of 2008 she had an episode called "Old Dog Destibular Syndrome"... as a result I insisted on running a full blood work on her, when it was discovered she had kidney damage. Our then-vet told me to take her home and basically wait for her to die.

I was outraged. I found another vet (who happens to be my next door neighbor) who is a regular DVM and also trained in holistic animal medicine. We put her on probiotics, an herbal tonic for kidney weakness, immediately took her off all dry food (which stresses damaged kidneys), and additionally began cooking for her. She bounced back to what appeared to be her "old self"... her kooky, clownish self, with a personality that filled the room.

Then Christmas eve, when we got home from a night out, for the first time ever, she vomited all of her food. I was concerned, but not overly. I figured if she still felt ill in the morning, I'd call the vet.

But it was not to be. At around 3:30 in the morning, I heard her panting very heavily, turning in circles on the dogbed next to my own, trying to get comfortable. I put the fan on for her, which helped for a few minutes... then she began moaning. I bolted out of bed, turned on the lights, and could see she was in serious distress. She had trouble getting to her feet, walked out to the living room and collapsed. I ran to her, cradled her head in my arms, and begged her to stay with me. Our vet wasn't answering her emergency phone, so I sent my husband running to her house. Dee kept trying to get up, fighting. So to keep her calm, I began singing her "her" songs. With that, she began letting go.

Less than a minute before our vet got to us, she died in my arms.

I "know" she's "only a dog"... but she was so so so much more to me. For the last three years, she was my sanity. My joy. My laughter. I've been battling serious health issues for 2 years, finally culminating in major surgery in October, and it just dawned on me today--she stayed until I was healthy again.

The shattered pieces of my already-broken heart lay in dust now. I hope and pray she knows how grateful I was for her in my life. All I want now is to see her & hold her again in my dreams.

doxies3andme — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:30:36 GMT

My sister's 14+ year old lab mix, P.D. passed away last night. She had been through a type of blood cancer and heart problems. One of the best dogs I've ever seen in behavior and personality. My sister is devastated, even though we all knew the inevitable outcome of this, especially given P.D.'s age. She will be sorely missed by our whole family. Rest in Peace, P.D., and Godspeed.

labradorlover2 — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:40:28 GMT

my first dog was poisoned 7 years ago by my neighbor. he and i didnt get along but to take my dogs life was just wrong and the cops did nothing about it. after he killed my dog he moved. but i still remember how he looks. should i settle the score with him or let it go and let god deal with him. if you were in my shoes would you want revenge on your neighbor for poisoning your dog?

Do you have a favorite dog from childhood that you miss alot?

iluvdogs — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:15:18 GMT

I have had a few dogs in my lifetime so far, but 2 of them will always be in my heart. When I was 4 I got Mister a lab cross he was the light of my life. He passed over the rainbow bridge when I was about 9. I had gone to a 4th of July celebration with my parents. When we came home (we lived on a farm) the road in front of our house was bloody. Mister had dragged himself up our long driveway by our porch and bravely wagged his tail even though he had a fatal injury. It is a memory that is seared into my mind. Brownie was a terrier cross, he lived for about 7 yrs until a mean neighbor shot him. He was a very nice dog to everyone however some people were afraid of him because I taught him how to smile,he would curl his lips back and show his teeth. He was so cute he would take a gunney sack drag it in the barn lay on it and bark at the pigeons or squirrels we had in our grain building. I will always miss them & truly hope Heaven allows dogs in because I want them to be there when it is my time.

Tribute to Magic

MagicsMom — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:58:40 GMT

A TRIBUTE TO MAGIC

*FROM GOD'S HANDS

INTO MINE*

I needed some magic in my life. In the previous 2yrs. I lost my Rotti (Bear) 11 1/2 yr old to cancer: and then a 9mth. old to HD (Angus) he was a Kuvaz and a wonderful soul:

I had just agreed to mid-wife a litter of pups for an elderly friend and got the same news about my 4mth old Nellie,(a Great Pyrenees).I decided not to get another puppy, I had become the keeper of babies that were terminal,and I wanted a change in job description. After all there are plenty of lost souls in shelters, that would be great therapy pets , and more importantly my best friend.

Hearing the news about Nellie my friend offered me one of the puppies:I said NO NO... NO more babies in my house.

It came down to this, when the Universe presents you with a gift, however it is presented,your a fool not to accept it with gratitude.

I got the call at 2:30 AM the day after Thanksgiving and spent the rest of the weekend there, 1st the birth and then settling everyone into a routine. It was great! I love that part of things.

Magic was my favorite of seven, from the time he went from* God's hands into mine.*

Today at 11:30 AM he went from my arms back to God

Magic has taught me so much I can not even begin to say..

The top of the list I must say, don't ever underestimate yourself or anyone else.

Next would have to be *Live in the MOMENT*

LOVE with EVERYTHING YOU ARE

He taught me that Magic is a real thing in our world..and we should share it with as many people as we come in contact with..young.. old..rich...poor...makes no difference..

My heart is breaking..and it is hard to wrap my brain around the fact that he is gone from my sight..

But will always be with me in the MAGIC of my HEART

To those of you who knew Magic..weather you met him in person or through e-mail..or even just read a story about him..thank you for sharing his MAGIC

Tricia and the fur kids

Still troubled

Farm Girl — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 01:36:42 GMT

I lost my beloved dog Barney on January 22 of this year. He was the most wonderful dog. We got him when I was three I even remember him licking my nose from inside the box we sat him in during the ride home. He was half golden retriever and half black lab. When he was one he saved my life by swimming in after me in the river when a large ship was going in the channel and causing a undetoe. Barney swam out to me and pulled me all the way back to shore. I grew up with him and we had many wonderful advantures. We would have had Barney for 15 years later in July.

When the pet food was having more food recalled about a month after first of it(a year or two ago) we were horrified that his food was on the list. We took him to the vet and they kept him for observation and did blood tests and put him on iv fluids. His blood tests came back that he was fine. When I went to go and get him I could barely get him into the car he couldnt walk hardly at all and was leaning to one side. The vet assured me that it was just arthritis and gave us some rymidil to help him. Well when my mom saw him she figured out that Barney had had a stroke and there wasnt any way that it was just arthritis. My dad refused to let us take him to a different vet and try to sue the one that had missed something this major. He got better and was walking again and even running.

On 1/22/08 I came home to find Barney completley paralized from his shoulders back and he was breathing heavy. I yelled for my dad to come in and we were worried that he was in pain but I pinched his skin very hard and he didnt even flinch. So we decided to wait until my brother(who moved out last year) and my mom could get hom and we would take him to the vet to be put down. I sat down by his head and he picked it up and lookd at me before laying his head down again. I told him how wonderful he was and that I loved him so very much and that I knew that he loved me to. I told him that we were blessed to have him for a friend. Then my dad said goodbye to him and then my brother got there and said goodbye. My mom got home and said goodbye as well. Then Barney lifted his head and looked at each one of us then laid it down again and closed his eyes and passed on a few minutes later surrounded by everyone he loved. It was 50mins after I had found him like that. My mom has had strokes herself and said that most likely that is what he had suffered a larger one than before.

I am still so upset about loosing him. Especially because I think that he could have lived longer if the vet would have figured out was was wrong with him the first time he had suffered a stroke. The vet has had problems with misdiagnosing animals before. She told me my horse had an abscess in his hoof but he actually had severe ringbone and sidebone which is very extreme arthritis and calcium deposits. My dad has had her for a vet for thirity years and wont say a bad thing about her. I feel like I should write her a letter.

I don't know what to do

ko1nu — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 18:42:49 GMT

Hi, I'm pretty new to this forum, and I am searching for advice on coping with the loss of a beloved family pet. I was looking for a shoulder to lean on today, and my friend suggested that I post my problem on a forum, to see if I can gain an understanding of my situation. I've been crying for 3 days straight, and can't get through work without a tear stained face. Everytime I sit down, whether its for lunch or a nap, I keep on getting flashbacks of rushing my dog ( My little Panda bear) to the hospital and not making it. Right now, I have an guilty conscience because I promised Panda that I would love her more now, because she was recently diagnosed with a lens luxation ( a hereditary disease that is common in Jack Russell Terriers) and lost her left eye. I recently came home from vacation and my friend who was baby sitting her, was bringing her home to me. When he was a couple of blocks away, Panda used her nose to pushed away the zipper on the pet carrier, and escaped, trying to find a way home. She ran onto the highway and got hit by a car. Right now I dug myself into a pit and is still mourning over her. What should I do?

good-bye my freind

Dog behavior when they are dying

Steve — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 04:18:15 GMT

My dog has conjestive heart failure and his health is failing fast. He is under medication from my vet, however he is exibiting different behavior. He will not look at me nor come to me. He spends his day outside at the farthest reaches of the yard, and just sits there. I do not understand dog behavior and I hope someone has gone through this their pet.

last night my dad let the door open and my dogs got loose.We noticed this at 9:15. they were there at 7:00 cuz they saw us eating.my dad looked around our neighborhood until 11 but he could only find simba.it's weird cuz last time they sticked together.The only reason he stopped was because some gangsters were giving him signals and so he wasn't going to risk it. Simba cried alllll night and every time he howled i burst into tears because they were soo mournful.please help me,tomorrow we are going to the animal hosapital and to the a rescue thats sort of far.my dad looked for him in the morning but nothing.Simba isn't the same either he sniffs the ground on the backyard as if he's looking for him.i'm losing hope so please help.......

Gave my puppy away

I had a 1 1/2 old puppy that I kept til he was 3 1/2 months! His name was Buddy and I didn't want 2 give him away! My mom made me! I know I'll never see him again but I can't get over it! Every day I think about him and how different my life would be if I still had him! I cry occasionally but I just can't help myself! I miss him so much! I see pictures of him and I have so many memories of when he was with me! I feel like my heart has been ripped out and shredded 2 peices!

Need to ask a few things

Lovemy4goldens — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:10:39 GMT

May I ask 2 questions?

first one is, I notice with all the members here, their users name, most of them have a ft in front of them. Is there a reason for that or a specail group?

and last, is I wrote a poem called soft whisper for my angel Brandi and posted it here and can't seem to find it. Did you delete it or moved it?

Thanks
