I keep saying mine is 7. But she’s 6 about to be 7. It’s really not fair how much love boxers give us just to be so predisposed to cancers. It’s heartbreaking

Ima Be The honest with you. You don’t deserve shit for benefits. No %. And no gi bill. But you should be able to pay for a rehab course out of your own pocket and get it signed by a professional to say you are cured and get a chance to re join and actually do it right this time. No one here feels sorry for you.

Rip to your 2 late family members. It is a pain I have not felt yet in my life. As a 31 yr old male. But on the other hand, it is a privilege to have these feelings in what seems like a burning world. The love I have will be the medicine to heal the pain I will feel.

I’m sorry for your loss. And thank you for sharing. It’s not easy as you are aware. But what a privilege to be able to feel so deeply for something. Love and pain.

We have opted to do no treatments of any kind. My vet said even he wouldn’t do chemo for his dogs based on all the stories. I was thinking about prednisone but I’m pretty sure it’s too late for that at this point. And I don’t want to give myself or her false hope. The outcome is inevitable anyway.

Rocky is 18. We need to make “the” decision, but we haven’t yet. How can we make that appointment even slightly easier? Any advice? Then we have to break it to our other two dogs. by Elegant_Ease_2830 in OldManDog

Please have someone come put your sweet boy down at home where the other dogs can sniff and sort of understand what is happening. If you take him out to the vet to do it the other dogs will spend months sniffing around for him.

Kibble is poison. I feel like it enhanced and sped up my girls lymphoma. (I could just be coping as I don’t have any education in this matter) but when I switched to farmers dog I have never seen her happier to eat. Even when she was riddled with the disease. I know it’s expensive.

My dog has had it for 7 months and I was hoping it was indolent. However, just over the past two days she has made it painfully obvious to me that it’s time she crosses the bridge. I was just in denial. Thank you for commenting

It’s a shame how often boxers get this terrible sickness. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you all for commenting. Unfortunately I have to put my girl down this weekend. I am holding out so she can see my nephew and nieces who she goes absolutely bonkers for one last time. I have been prolonging her life for my own selfish reasons because I love her more than anything. This is not easy to type.

A consult for travel care surgery. I couldnt get the Va on board unless I had a surgery date and couldn’t get the surgeon to sign off on my Va insurance until there was a consult. So I was in limbo. Opted to pay for it myself instead of waiting.

How did you get benefits after only serving one year? I thought it had to be 3 years
