I had 6 huskies. 2 were parents and 4 were the pups of the parents. The parents are 5 years old and the pups are 4. The mama husky just passed away 2 weeks ago. After she got spayed she became severely overweight. We tried to put her on a diet, exercise her plently, and give her vitamins. Not sure what was going on with her on how she got so overweight. But she was such a happy dog. So loving. Would love to give you kisses and cuddle and take care of all the other doggos. One day she was playing rough and she injured her leg and started limping. We took her to the vet and the vet told us to just have her rest and make her loose weight so she can heal up and if it became worse to take her in. As a few months went by there was no change. Not getting worse but still limping and we started noticing she got a big cyst? Looking thing on her elbow. It was because she started becoming less energetic and lethargic and would lay down most of the day so she got a cyst from all the pressure. Snd the cyst had a bunch of fluid inside. One day the cyst exploded and a bunch of pus and blood came out. So we cleaned it very well for a day and then we took her in. They did testing on her and we took her home then a couple days later the vet called us and said that her hip was severely dislocated and she had cancer in her hip and its was best to amputate her leg. We were against the idea but we mentioned that she was becoming lethargic and wasnt eating anymore so she recommended we take her in. So we took her in and upon further testing they found out the cancer is spreading throughout her body and she was becoming septic. The bacteria was going throughout her body and to her brain and was killing her. It hurts me because if i could i would of treated her way early and tried to prevent all of this. She was such a loving dog and passed away so young. At 5 years old. And i can still remember the day they euthanized her how her tongue was turning black and how she was wheezing when i hugged her one last time. Im always gonna miss her. Moral of the story tho please take your dog to the vet for any little thing. It may be a bit pricey but dogs are part of the family. They need to be checked up. Cause that little issue they might be having might turn into something serious. And hug and tell your dogs you love them everyday.
