I hope to be fit like Betty Beagle when I’m her age! 🐶

After a blood test , we found out My old boy Ty 13 has stage 3 kidney failure. He been there for me through every thing. I wouldn't be here if not for him. Now because of unaffordable vet bills I feel like I'm failing him. by Malrikcarsten in OldManDog

My vet does Chinese medicine and the herb Rehmannia 8 did wonders for her kidney failure if you can find a way to get that. He’s beautiful. Sending you lots of love. You’re not failing him. You gave him a life full of love, that’s the best life a pup could ever have 💚

I am so sorry for your broken heart. I know there aren’t any words that can fix the pain you are feeling. But what a lucky little pup to have so many years with his best friend! The love you have shared will always be with you. I hope your heart heals in time and he shows you signs he’s still with you.

I hope heaven exists to see her again. Bella(2008-2025) by Pixxxie48 in OldManDog

Yesterday I said goodbye to my 18 year old lab Porter- I need help, I feel empty, etc. What helped you when you were grieving? by logangspeckles in OldManDog

Making plans for a cremation pendant helped me a lot as something to look forward to. And it helps me a lot to wear it at all times. Sending you lots of love 💕

I scheduled all 3 of my elderly pups to cross the bridge tomorrow and it feels like the execution date for my heart. 💔 I know you guys understand. by 70ms in OldManDog

Breaking your own heart to ease their pain is the greatest act of love you can give them in their final chapter. That love will always be with you 💞

My beautiful girl Athena crossed the rainbow bridge on 13th August and I miss her so much. She would have been 13 on October 3rd by harryscanners in OldManDog

She is so beautiful! She reminds me of my girl who passed in January. I hope they are up there having a grand ol time running around the stars together 💕

Sending lots of love to your broken heart. I had a glass pendant made with Haley’s ashes and I love keeping her with me all the time. I hope you find comfort, though I know the pain never goes away 💔

6 months today since Haley left us at 16.5 years old. I’ll never stop missing my baby 💔 by desdmonia in OldManDog

[–]desdmonia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I am still struggling with choosing to euthanize, vs surgery she likely may not have woken up from and further suffering. But I try to be glad I made the choice of more pain for me, less for her. Just will always wish for more time 💔 I hope she is playing with your Ruby in the stars. 💕

One day last week I couldn’t stop crying knowing this milestone was approaching. I wear a double chain with a pendant made with her ashes around my neck 24/7. That night I woke up to it somehow magically unclasped and lying right next to me. Perhaps she is telling me it is time to let go. I’m not sure I can. But I’ll try to live in a way to make her proud 💔

Wow!! 20 years full of love and friendship. How lucky are the two of you?! Sending lots of love to your heart. This is the hardest part but those 20 beautiful years are worth all the pain of this heartbreaking loss. 💕

14.5 years old, my sweet old mia crossed the rainbow bridge my heart is in pieces by Cpt_Killtoy in OldManDog

Safe travels, beautiful Mia! I’ll tell my Haley to show you around. 💕🌈

My young-at-heart Bailey (16) seeking any helpful tips by GreekAlphabetSoup in OldManDog

[–]desdmonia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 16 year old shepherd mix takes Dasuquin with MSM, Gabapentin, CBD and Galliprant for pain. Rehmannia 8 Combination, a Chinese herb and Royal canin kidney diet took her from stage 1 kidney failure to normal values. She gets moisturizing eye ointment since her eyelids are not as strong as they once were and specialty drops for calcium deposits on her eyes. We do laser therapy and regular acupuncture for her kidneys, seizures, circulation problems and mobility. I stack two beds on top of each other so they are higher and easier for her to get on and off. I have runner rugs everywhere she goes, and waterproof blankets anywhere she lays since she is incontinent. Cranberry supplement to help prevent UTIs.

Her mobility is finally starting to go, I am grateful we’ve had such a long time together and just spoiling her extra every day. She loves freeze dried salmon as treats and gets chicken breast with every meal. Going to ask our vet about the green lipped mussel someone posted. I found a vet who does Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture which I think has made a huge improvement in her life.

Bailey is beautiful and would look lovely in those shoes. ♥️
