GSDmom Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Today is a very sad day indeed. We lost our beloved Ax. We aquired him as a pup for my husband and a mascot for our fire department. He was loved by all. I trained him for search and rescue, he was my partner who loved to swim and worked for the love of it and the tug toy. Just before the certification test he went blind due to what we thought was juvenille cateracts. He was pulled from SAR, but continued to be a great pet who loved to play. His favorite pastime was sliding down the slide with the kids at the park. Then came yesterday, the fateful day when I came home from work to find he had busted the door on his kennel and was wondering aimlessly in the dog room, stumling over nothing and falling on his side and head, I called the vet, and he gave him a shot for shock, assuming it was torsion and had thrown him into shock. Not so. Early this morning I found him breathing, but unresponsive. He was in a coma. I called the vet again, but it was too late. By the time I was done, he had passed away. The vet has ruled that an anurism caused his blindness and yesterday it ruptured, causing death . Ax would have turned 4 in august. We are just devastated.
