Jake's page
Full of fun and love to give to his family. Loved to sit next to me(his human wife) and come to bed of a night for a snuggle😊
Just after Jakes 10th birthday he developed a lump in his neck which we thought was a gland and didn’t really take much notice of.
After about a week of it appearing, he suddenly started to pant and just look at me, I knew he want right and took him to our vet. My nightmares came true. She examined him and told me she wanted to keep him for the day to go bloods and scan him.
I left him there and couldn’t believe the sickness in my stomach waiting to go back at 5pm for him.
At 5pm I went back. The vet told me, his liver and spleen were extremely enlarged and so were all his glands. His blood showed he was severely anaemic and worst of all he had canine lymphoma. She advised for me to put him to sleep as he wasn’t insured.
I couldn’t believe my best friend, my baby husband as he answered to, my Jake was going to die. I was just thinking how much savings do I have for treatment?
How do I get a second opinion?
I took my baby home to our family and explained the devastating news.
The following day, after looking up a lot of other vets, I took Jake for a second opinion. The family vet sent over all of his results . The diagnois was the same.
I told the vet I wanted to pay for my baby to have treatment if it would give him good quality extra time with us.
For the first week of treatment it was not good, my jakey was vomiting and passing blood, he couldn’t eat.
We cared for him 24/7, taking the time off work to care for him, hand and string feeding him.
Then miracoudly he picked up!! We had a marvellous two and a half months with him. He had brilliant quality, running in the park, eating and drinking anything he wanted. Sleeping in my bed. Having fun playing water fights with the Jose pipe. It was brilliant. The vet couldn’t believe how well he was.
Then in the early hours of the 11/8/16, it fell apart. My jakey came to me. He started panting, he couldn’t walk properly, he was struggling. He was telling me he couldn’t go on. Later that day, with all our family, our family vet came to our home to let my beautiful go to the rainbow bridge.
We all held and kissed him as he fell to sleep.
I will never get over losing him. ❤️
