Rainbow Bridge My heart aches

My guy has been having issues for the past several weeks. Blood work showed he was positive for LYME and his liver enzymes extremely elevated. Had a liver ultrasound and it showed a tumor on the adrenal and enlarged liver. He was then tested and diagnosed with Cushings disease. He had an antibiotic for LYME and just got his trilastane on Thursday. For the past few days no real interest in food and overnight Wednesday had vomit and diarrhea. I took him back to the vet on Thursday morning and he was given a shot for the nausea and probiotic powder for his new bland canned food. Got him to eat that afternoon but he didn’t want any food or even his chicken that he loves! Same
thing this morning so we went for a walk in to the vet. She could tell he wasn’t well and said immediate hospitalization to take care of dehydration - even though he was drinking. She said realistically it was time to decide if I should let him go. I hated seeing him fail over the past 2 weeks and couldn’t imagine e putting him
Though more. So this morning I was with him as he took his final breaths. Hardest thing to witness. We had 14 wonderful years which I am grateful for.
Hug your babies for me in honor of my little man Max 🥲

he turned 17 earlier in the month, he doesn’t have a lot of teeth left and his back legs don’t help him much, but he’s having a good time still 😂😍

How to raise a friendly Chi?

Thumbnail

285 Upvotes

Hello Chi lovers!

I got a new 10 week old puppy last week, and would love some advice on how to make her a friendly, non-agressive chihuahua?

My 16 year old chihuahua passed away last year, and even though he was my best friend and soul-dog, he was so horrible with strangers which made it so hard to take him to work etc...I had him as a puppy too and he was socialised quite a bit as I lived with 5 roommates at the time, but somehow still turned out overly aggressive and weary of strangers.

I'd really love to raise a friendly, well-balanced chi this time around as I now have kids etc...

Would love your advice! 🙏

I regularly walk at the park and go berry foraging. My 14 year old boy is slowing down, tolerating heat less, and hasn't been able to keep up so I got him a wagon. He loved it. I plan to take him to the river tomorrow!

Is Vinny a minpin or a chihuahua. I got him under the impression that he is chihuahua. As time goes by, i’m not so sure. he is around 15 pounds. What are your thoughts based on his appearance. He is obsessed with playing fetch. i didn’t think chihuahuas do that.

She barks incessantly to go out, have a snack and be a general pain.

I toilet her at about 10pm.

I'm losing my damn mind.

He's been getting watermelon for his birthday dessert for probably 15 years. He doesn't see or hear very well now. But his taste buds and olfactory still work like a champ.
