My Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Michael and little Aubriegh's Golden had to be put to sleep yesterday. They had noticed about 1.5 weeks ago that she seemed to have the flu. She had a cough and wasn't eating. Jenn took her to the vet and they gave her antibiotics and explained that since all 3 of the humans were sick in the house, its possible she caught the same thing. But as the next week went by, Ginger still wasn't eating. Michael took her back to the vet yesterday, where they did an X-ray of her stomach. The test showed 24 cancerous tumors in her tummy and at that point there was nothing that could be done. The vet said that she probably was in a lot of pain and it would be in her best interest to put her to sleep. Poor little Aubriegh still wonders where she is, since thats the only dog she has ever grown up with. Please say a little prayer for them all.

how sad

Oh my, this is so sad
I can't believe that she had 24 tumors. They must have been devistated.
I will be saying a prayer for your family.

yes it is very sad, I will pray for the healing of their HEARTS!

Oh Jamie, I'm so sorry Losing a pet is sad and devastating, but they did the right thing putting her down. No pet should suffer a horrible disease like that. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Oh Jamie how sad, but 24 tumors, they did the right thing, no animal should suffer with a disease like that.are they going to get another pet for little Aubreigh?

Aubriegh has 2 beautiful kitties to keep her occupied right now, Sasha and Sabrina. But probably when she gets a bit older, they will get another Golden. My aunt just loves those dogs. Her first golden, Sebastian, lived with my grandparents, and he just recently passed away too from old age. Now we have no goldens in the family anymore, but I am sure there will be another one at some time.

How sad I am so sorry!

you got it Jamie. it's so sad but at least there's no more pain for her.
