Showing Original Post only (View all)RIP Sabot 9/19/01-4/25/14 [View all]
He was a 12 1/2 year old golden retriever/chow mix. On Thursday of last week, he was really lethargic and wasn't eating. On Friday morning, we took him to the vet where they performed some tests and an ultrasound. They found tumors on his spleen, adrenal gland and possibly his liver. Plus he had fluid in his belly from an abscess that ruptured which was causing his lethargy and fever. The vet said that he might not survive surgery. It was a gut-wrenching, heart breaking decision to put him to sleep
He was a great dog. He loved people and was always happy to see anyone. Whenever we would come home, he would whine and wag his tail because he was so happy to see us. It's quiet now and it's hard to get used too. Goodbye Sabot! I miss you!
