Our 9 year old sheltie just died at the vet's. The day before we took him to the vet he vomitted 15 plus times and refused to eat. The tests the vet ran showed that his liver was enlarged. They questioned whether he has eaten something toxic, but thought it more likely to be a mass on his liver. He died within a day. He seemed fine a few days before this. Is it normal for older shelties to experience this and die so quickly? We have 2 other shelties; one as big as Bear who died, 45 pounds, and a smaller 20 pound sheltie. I am so scared that they will get sick now, and I won't realize how serious it is. Has anybody seen this in their sheltie?
my sheltie has been vomiting bile lately and often. this is the same thing that happened to my other two sheltie's at the end of their lives. is this a normal sign that the end is near or what is wrong?
Our 9 year old Sheltie just died and he was vomitting too, then died in a day. He seemed fine before this. The vet found his liver was enlarged. If we think back he was showing signs for awhile that something was wrong, refusing to eat sometimes, vomitting occasionally, and less active. This the first dog we have ever had so had no idea that he might be showing signs that he was seriously ill. We have 2 other Shelties, so will be sure to look for these signs. I hope you find out what is wrong with your dog. I hope this helps you.
My one year old has just been diagnosed w/ hyperthyroidism what are the natural choices of treatment?
Recently I moved to Hawaii for a temporary job of three months and would like to bring my dog down with me do you think she will be okay in this type of climate? They have a lot of fur.
If you watch her carefully, she should be okay. Try hard to keep her cool if she looks over-heated
