I am having a bad day... This is suck!

[PCAddict]

First, I get to work an hour early and all hell is breaking loose. I had to start working early, although I came in early to take care of some other matters. Secondly, I find out that Hurricane Florence might cause cancellation/postponement of my deep-sea fishing trip this weekend. Thirdly, I find out that my dog is sick. My mother came home and found blood on the carpet. Apparently he was bleeding from his male private area, if you know what I mean. My father took him to the vet, and they put him on antibiotics and did blood work. It might be his prostate. He might have to be neutered. They aren't exactly sure. I'm kinda bent out of shape about it. My dog is my best friend in the world (or so it seems).

PCAddict, bummer man, this day is definitely most suck. A neutered dog is never the same as you probably know. But better snipped than dead.

The situation with the dog is that they don't know if neutering him will fix the problem. They don't know what the problem is yet. They are waiting for the blood test results. As far as I am concerned, whatever it takes to make him better or save his life will be done. I will make sure of that.

Thanks guys. It's almost 3AM and I am still online kinda wandering around. I can't sleep. I'm too upset about this whole thing. It may seem kinda stupid, but it's really getting to me. I picked him out of the litter when we got him, and watched him grow from a puppy to an adult. I guess I am just an old softie. That dog food commercial with the Irish Setter and the girl running up the steps brings a tear to my eye every time.

I know how ya feel, I treat my pets better than some of my own relatives.

don't be so down about your dog. if you get the surgery for him, at least he'll be better, right? and having him up and about is better than him not being around at all...

a few years ago, my precious dog snapped it's spinal cord. i don't know how or why, but i'm guessing it's from all the genetic inbreeding (pure bred lhasa apso). watching it try to get up, run around, and play w/me and my brother was the second hardest thing to do. the first hardest thing to do was to put it to sleep....thinking about it puts tears to my eyes.

but now i have a crazy samoyed doggie, and she's wonderful and great to hang out with.

hang in there homie...if u need to talk, go ahead and email me @ croton@ucla.edu

Well, I went over my parents' place today to see my buddy. He acted like he always does when I come over. Tomorrow we get the blood test results. In two weeks, he goes back to the vet to get checked again. And it looks like he will be neutered. :| But, if it is what keeps him healthy/alive, so be it. I am concerned about how it will affect his personality. It's not like he is a puppy. I've heard horror stories about how they can change from that.

This damn hurricane has indeed forced me to postpone my fishing trip that was scheduled for the weekend. But, it can be rescheduled and I can do other stuff in the meantime.

EDIT: Thanks for all of the positive support, guys. It helps.

PCAddict,

Man. I hope everything works out. Having just gotten my first dog this year, I definitely know how important family members they are.
