@K9Kohle789 Oh so sad, my sincerest condolences to you on the loss of Kohle.
I had a much loved Russian Wolfhound named George many, many years ago, he had severe kidney problems in old age also plus, he bought as a 'Stud Dog' but he also had a impairment in that he was born with a thing called 'micro/mini Penis' in that his penis never developed beyond the size it was when he was just a tiny puppy.
Old George was a true character though, he loved watching television, had his very own Beanbag, decided that sleeping on the floor BESIDE my bed was "not for him" and that 'sharing my bed' was a better idea, except that a Russian Wolfhound usually grows to a height at the shoulders of around 32" to 38" and more, has very long legs and likes to, literally, spread out meaning I only got the barest available edge of the bed to TRY to sleep in...LOL.
George was the first ever of his breed to be trained and Certified in Australia as a Companion Dog in Dog Obedience, everyone found it a great joke when we arrived at the first Trial, shouting things like " That stupid animal is a waste of time, you can't teach them anything," and other even more disheartening stuff, BUT we got the last laugh when the scores came in, George scored 99/100 on the first trial, 99/100 on the second and blitzed the third with 100/100 while the rest of the competitors failed miserably.
George was 9 years old when he began Obedience training, was an Obedience Champion 18 months later and ,sadly, passed away in his sleep aged 12 years.
His pedigree name was 'Matalona Zancho's Pride.'
@K9Kohle789 Oh yeah, some Vets know how to 'charge like a wounded bull' don't they?
I once had a Vet try to tell me that 'neutering' George would cure his Kidney problem BUT it would cost me an extra 11,000 dollars to get it done.
I simply said to the Vet, " Hey, I'm a nurse, his kidneys are a long way away from his balls you know and his ball have nothing to do with how his kidneys work."
2 days later I found another Vet who checked George over, prescribed a change in diet and some medications used in humans for exactly the problem for a mere cost of 10 dollars per month BUT he also advised that this would NOT cure the problem, just ease the symptoms and give George a bit linger life to live and enjoy.
George was about12 moths old at the time, so I reckon he got the best treatment as well as good life and a longer one than was to be expected.
@K9Kohle789 Yeah I can believe it.
in late 2001, my Blue Heeler, Charlie, saved me from being bitten by a venomous Mulga snake while I was hand-watering my lawn.
He deliberately 'shoulder charged' at me, knocked me out of the way and the snake got him instead.
Having no car, just a motorbike at the time, I rang both the local, privately owned and operated Vet Clinic and the R.S.P.C.A. Clinic as well.
No response from the R.S.P.C.A. ( after hours), but the private Vet answered and when I fold of my dog being bitten by a snake his response both shocked and appalled me.
He simply said, " Too bad, I'm watching television at the moment, either bring him here, just let him die or I'll come in about an hour and a half but it will cost you $2,500 Call-out fee and what ever else the treatments costs on top," and slammed the receiver down on me.
I know it is all movie stuff, but I immediately set about applying a pressure bandage above the bite, then got a very sharp knife, cut open the bite site and sucked the blood, etc.
I sat up the entire night keeping watch over Charlie and the next morning, I must have dozed off, because I awakened by Charlie nudging my arm and doing his 'I need to go outside now" bit.
He was 12 months at that time and lived for another happy 15 years until he died in his sleep in his own special sleeping place.
Enjoy being online again!
