We lost our husky yesterday February 15, one day after his 10th Birthday. It was a very painful experience losing one that we really really love. He was our baby. He seem so healthy and fine and last week of January, we noticed him throwing up, and became so choosy with food. He did not want to eat his cookies, food that he really really love. We rush him to the vet and he was checked up. They said, it could possibly because of his teeth or wants a change of diet. So we give him a softer food, we bought different dog food and glad to see him eat. What he did, he eat new brand of dog food. Those that were in can. So we bought lots of those. THe next day, he would not want to eat the same kind of food, so we try another one. He ate one can and won't eat the next time. It was a puzzle what wrong with him. We sent him back to the vet, he was X-rayed. Then they found a Rawjan ( sorry, don't know how to spell it)in his intestine. My inlaws give those during X'mas. The vet said, it was blocking his system so he can't poop. He was given some med, and the next day, we were glad that he is able to poop and eat softer food. He seem fine although then but he still don't eat that much. Few days later, he don't eat again..we we're wondering what wrong with him and he started crying at night. February 14, his 10th Birthday, We sent him to the vet again and they inserted a tube in him to check his stomach, the vet said, the tube was passing so slow. So they decided to have an "operation" the next day. Yesterday, February 15, he undergone an operation. Everyone was surprised to find a cyst as big as baseball in his tummy, pressing the intestine thats why the food won't pass so easy. The vet was able to get that cyst. Our husky was still alive. After the cyst was taken, the vet found another smaller cyst, and he tried to take that out...and that's when our baby give up. I missed him, we all missed him. MY husband was devastated but he told me, we did all we could. He was a good dog and we have great time with him. I cried all night but there's nothing we can do about it. I am still hurting and I am hoping I can move on soon.
