Its been a terrible couple of days for me - I have lost my boxer dog.
Xena was very lethargic yesterday and took herself outside (she's a couch potato and hates to go out). She spent the day lying on a couch on our deck and when my son got home last night we took her to the Vet. I couldn't take her before because she is too heavy for me to lift.
The Vet felt she was bleeding internally and probably from a tumour. Boxers are notorious for tumours.
He worked on her last night trying to get a drip into her but her veins had all collapsed and we left her there thinking she may not last the night.
I got a call from the Vet this morning to say she had rallied a little was was able to stand and so I went back down to talk with him.
He felt there was something bleeding internally and so he suggested an exploratory op to find out what it was and if it could be fixed. He just rang me to say she had a massive (bigger than his fist) tumour on her liver and some secondary on her spleen and lungs. There was nothing they could do - the tumour was still bleeding and so they let her go.
Rest in peace Xena - we will miss you so much bubby girl.
