Please take the little thing to the vet, or an animal hospital, or if there is some charitable hospital you can take him to, that would be good if you don't have any money. You cannot hope to manage this yourself. He needs urgent veterinary treatment. Good luck looking after this pup. I hope he's ok, and makes it through.

If not, and he's just trundling along at the end of his years, with a slightly more grumpy attitude towards the young 'uns (dogs) and the World in general....then I woul...

Whatever is wrong with your dog, I am sure the vet will find out. If you are not satisfied with the diagnosis the vet gives you, or if he seems unsure, don't forget that you can always go see another vet. There are all sorts of reasons for breathing problems. From obstructions in the nose (from too much sniffing! and getting something stuck up there) -to h...

I am very sorry about what happened. It's very sad, but that pup in its so short life did know your love....and maybe it's the quality...not the quantity that counts. I think sometimes these lovely little Souls that come to us for such a short time are there to show us something. Some little light in the darkness....I don't know. Another dog will come to ...
