Well this morning we had the very unpleasant experience of putting this little fella to sleep.
George just eight years of age has had all sorts of problems over the years due to having GME (Granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis), including temporarily losing the ability to walk, see, and other related complications such as kidney failure. Each time we have managed to patch the little bugger up and fix things. Now after numerous operations, staggering vet bills, and huge amounts of care his latest issue could not be beaten.
After managing to deeply scratch both eyes a few weeks back he had been undergoing treatment where both eyes had been improving but then infection occurred in one eye where despite our efforts it was provisionally scheduled that today the eye would be removed.
We woke him up this morning only to discover the other eye had complications resulting in him losing the ability to see again. Discussion with the vet confirmed it would be highly unlikely anything could be done for the eyes and that coupled with his other issues would not allowed him the quality of life he deserved.
George you were a lovely little dog and you will be missed.
I'm very sorry to hear about George, I don't know if it's the quality of your photos but he came across as a little fella with oodles of character.
Am I wrong, or do I remember a very cool photo of him wearing sun glasses?
