Its not wow related but I’m feeling really down. Hes not eating or drinking… hes just kind of laying there. I spent a lot of time petting him tonight…
We’ll take him to the vet tomorrow but I dread that they might say to put him down. I hope he goes peacefully in his sleep if hes at the end…
I really don’t want him to go…
For what it’s worth I hope that the vet says everything is ok.
that sucks
If he has any kind of cancer or some kind of health problem that requires tons of money and surgery, just put him
down after giving him as much time as possible.
Just speaking from experience as a pet owner that has seen pets go through cancer and it’s just very sad and can be a waste of a lot of money. This is after seeing people almost go bankrupt from vet bills. If you have pet insurance, than that’s great
Also dogs can be very dramatic. Could just be a splinter in their paw or a stomach ache
/Hug. Man doesnt deserve dogs. Pulling for you
it is now… he’s our mascot for the next 24 hours.
spend the night having snuggles with him
take some photos when he’s asleep (just in case)
try not to be sad around him… he can feel it, and it’ll only stress him out.
i hope all goes well, keep us updated
Hey, good luck. 
If the vet cannot identify the issue and your dog still isn’t eating I recommend buying some liquid formula dog food and feeding via a syringe to build up his strength.
I’ve lost personally before. They’re family and it’s heartbreaking. I’m sorry OP. I’ll keep you both in my thoughts.
I hope you get good news tomorrow. Just the same, I’m sending as many warm hugs as you can carry with you
And for you too
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…
If this is indeed your dog’s time, try and find solace in the fact that it isn’t abrupt and/or unexpected, that you kind of see it coming and get to say goodbye
Really hope he’s okay man. sending you some virtual love
What a boss thing to say. Respect.
I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to three of the dogs i’ve had over the years, life can be unpredictable.
The last one wasn’t right. I was in the same state this time, and mom just sort of took her to the vet without telling me.
She said she wanted to spare a sad event or something. Good for her.
I hope you have many more happy years with your friend, but if not, remember this beautiful poem when the time is right.
Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, giving their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask…
To a poor and lonely stray, I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I’d will to the sad, scared, shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and the pain is more than I can stand.”
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give…
The love I left behind.

My kitty started acting that way when her kidneys started shutting down.
Sometimes the best thing you can do, is also the hardest thing to do.
Let them go so they are no longer in pain.
If you have to help him move on, do so. It is hard but it’s the kindest thing you can do for him at that point and that’s what friends, that’s what family does for one another.
I never call it “putting him/her down”. I call it what it is, setting them free.
It hurts but in the long run, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you did the right thing.
I’ll hope for the best til that day comes. Be well.
Regardless of past actions, his comment in this thread is quite awesome. Let’s not bring personal attacks into such an emotional and somber thread, hmm?
How old?
And nothing I’d say will help.
But I get the feeling, I’ve gone through it myself.
Realistically if the dog is old then … well …
But here’s hoping it’s just a bug and that the dog gets better 
Really? trying to start drama in a thread like this 
To the OP I give my best wishes on your visit to the vet, hope your dog gets better!
