I am new to this forum. Over the weekend I had to put my almost 7 yr old golden Elle to sleep. Last Monday she began having a hard time eating,meaning she was hungry but as she ate it was like the food was rancid-I now know this to be nausea. She was also drinking a lot of water. We went to the vet Tuesday, her blood tests were all almost normal, with the liver enzyme slightly elevated and white blood cell count slightly elevated but both within normal. Vet was guessing she ate something that did not agree with her-even though she is not a garbage dog, so gave her shot of antibiotic and shot of anti nausea with pills for me to take home. Thursday she was not better, not eating-still drinking alot-but still interested in playing. I took her back to vet, they did stomach x-ray which showed nothing and referred me to vet hospital. This is why I wanted to write this: The vet hospital could not do the ultrasound until Friday morning-they wanted to keep her over night and hook her up to iv, take another x-ray--I said okay=I wish I would have said NO-I will bring her back in the am for ultra sound-something happened in Elle's head being away from home that night-she gave up-too stressful-so the ultrasound showed cancer throughtout with nothing to do but keep her comfortable-she was not the same dog when I picked her up Friday. Saturday I sent her to the bridge. Keep your dog with you unless there is absolutely a reason not to--I cannot tell you how much I regret letting her stay there. I lost my first golden birdie at 5. I am devasted. I hope this is helpful to someone
