Hemangiosarcoma suddenly and unexpectedly took our GSD Aleethea

[dogfaeries]

I am so so sorry.

I've been there too - I lost my Italian Greyhound, Boz, to hemangiosarcoma 2 years ago.

I agree with this post.
First I want to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost one dog in Oct to this and my other one is going through chemo because of hemangiosarcoma of the heart. I agree with this disease becoming epidemic. WHAT IS GOING ON???

I am so, so sorry for your loss, no words can ever make up the void we experience when a huge part of us has died..
Sadly I know your pain all too well. It was three months ago today I lost my Jacob to this disease within 5 hours of his first symptom..
The sadness was all consuming for me, I still have bad moments but I had learned to accept it and move on with life. I buried him in the yard and I talk to him every day...
Of course I only made it a short time till I had to get another pup..
There is something about this breed that you can't find with any other animal/pet/companion. They are the complete total package, smarts, immensely loyal, easy to train and they have no limit to their love...

I'm so sorry for your loss, I too lost my boy at only 7 years of age, I still cry thinking of him.

I am grieving right now because our beautiful, sweet, gentle white GS left us last Saturday. She had had an xray scan that previous Wednesday that showed the many tumors, spleen and liver involvement. Doc told us it would happen quickly when one of these burst. Saturday morning when I got up she had gone outside and I went looking for her. Her breathing was very laboured and my daughter and I rushed her to the vets. My heart is crying.

I also lost my GSD to hemangio. Very sorry,a lot of us have been there. I wonder if it's food related as they suspect with different human cancers such as prostate and breast cancer.
