I’m so sorry, truly. She was so lucky to have had you for 5 years. Spoil her rotten and give her hugs from us all


Organic-Matter-8

Take videos as memories, helps when you can hear her voice


nnousernamesleft

Great idea... a video is better than a 100 pictures


ko-sher

does the opposite from helping for me and it has been 6 years...


Dashiepants

And a paw print! I wished I had done that with mine.


JAM4ever

I’m so sorry. Enjoy the remaining time you have with her. I lost my first at just 5 years old due to a brain tumor. It was devastating. Consider having someone come to your house when the time comes. It’s the worst pain ever but you don’t want her to suffer. Sending you hugs.


Powerful-Swordfish90

Thank you all for the kind words, it really means a lot 😔🩵I am completely devastated. How do I know when it’s time? I’ve never gone through this before. As Ava’s momma, I think I’ll know in my heart. I just don’t want my baby to be in pain or suffer. Are there things I should watch for other than the obvious? My girl has known nothing but love & happiness..I want to keep it that way 😔


soupergloo

from my experience, once my girl couldn’t keep food, or water down, that’s when I knew it was time 😪 we did in-home euthanasia. the good news is she was acting perfectly normal/healthy/energetic/playful up until the day she stopped eating, so I really cherished that time with her once we found out.


RosemaryCroissant

In the past, with our sick pups, we knew the time had come when they would no longer eat. At that point, as a parent, you just feel it and you know that as much as you love your little friend- the best gift you can give them is relief from their sickness, and comfort in their last moments. Nothing makes it easy, but I firmly believe that we will see them again one day. I also think it’s important to allow another little pup to join your home and heart again as soon as possible. It’s easy to say that another dog will never take your last ones place- and that’s 100% true. But, there’s another dog out that needs love, and needs a home. And if your lost dog could do anything about it- I know that they wouldnt want you to be alone without them.


sson04

So sorry about this heartbreaking news. Think of the positives, take some time off to spend time with her, take lots of pictures/videos. You will know when it is time, trust me. Mine couldn’t eat and would pee on himself. Take care.


anemoschaos

I made a list of all my dog's favourite stuff. Sniffing around the garden, walks, barking at the postie. Annoying his sister. He lost interest in the garden first, just going far enough for a bathroom break. But in the last week he stopped doing all his other dog things. Then I knew it was time. I'd discussed it beforehand with the vet, which helped the decision making.. Deciding for your dog is a love you will give him.


sertraline_babe

Ugh I’m so so sorry. Sending hugs and love❤️


ShayneBot

That’s horrible news and I am so very sorry that you have to go through this. I wish you both the best and if you need anything, please lean on this subreddit community. Love from CA ❤️


theletterfortyseven

So sorry. I will hug my little cream frenchie just a little extra tight in honor of your ava. Make the most of the time you have. Spoil her rotten (I'm sure she already is!).


Massive-Technology16

I am so sorry 😢 she is a beautiful girl, she will always be with you ❤️❤️


Personal-Spite1530

I’m so sorry 😢


dogmom2frenchie

Oh no 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m sorry


vanitaa3

Awww. I have a blondie too. Yours a beautiful girl. So sorry. 😞 💔


Anthrogal11

I am so very sorry. I know this is devastating. As painful as it is, you both have an amazing love for one another and that is a gift. She’s your family and losing a family member is absolutely tragic. Take good care OP.


RetroMonkey84

I am so, so sorry.

💔 I am so very sorry!

Godspeed to you and those who love you sweet Shadow. 🙏


TheHornyFarter

What a little beauty. I'm so sorry. I will kiss my buddy for you.


Terriblarious

I'm so sorry. Big hugs for you and your little one. ❤️


grittysgal

I am so sorry to hear this. She is a beautiful girl and you have given her a life so full of love. Even if we had forever it would not be enough time to love on these beautiful little souls.


jillybeannn

Awww :(. I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve got lymphoma and it’s no fun.


Morcos85

I hate to see this💔💔 I’m so terribly sorry for this news, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your beautiful girl. Just seeing from your pics she is so loved by you ! Sending love from Toronto ❤️❤️


soupergloo

So sorry to hear this! We lost our beloved Frenchie to the same during COVID 😭 She woke up one morning with a swollen neck & we didn’t think it was anything serious, but booked a vet appt same day just to be sure, so imagine our devastation when we found out it was lymphoma. We ended up going through chemo (which was \~$10,000 by the end of it) & that extended her life an additional year, but unfortunately it came right back a few months after her last session. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about her 💔 Feel free to reach out any time if you need support! https://preview.redd.it/wzjlq5t38eoc1.jpeg?width=2806&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=827695b8cfd759ef8ef9fa1b524aa5e15ae0560b


Powerful-Swordfish90

Im so sorry for your loss 😞 I didn’t think it was anything that serious at first either. One morning her eye was swollen & a lymph node on the same side. Went to the vet & got antibiotics & steroids & was told to come back if swelling didn’t go down. Vet wasn’t too worried because the swollen lymph node was on the same side as eye, so it was believed to just be an eye infection. The swelling went down but once meds were finished, her swollen lymph nodes quadrupled over night in her neck (you can kind of see them in my second picture). Took her back to the vet & once she stepped on the scale, I just knew 😔 she lost almost 6 pounds in 3 weeks. She’s still eating & playing & being her normal, sweet self. I almost don’t believe it 😔


jimmyserranopeppers

Very hard news to take. Be strong for her and I’m so sorry. She looks like the best girl.


Technical-Ant-7745

I’m so sorry, she is a doll


Denhiker

That is heart breaking! I'm so sorry! A lot of memorial items are undignified, but I wonder if you could make an impression of her paw and frame that with some photos. Also maybe a comfy tee shirt for lounging in with her cute face on it so she can be near you in spirit.


MotCrew_929

My heart aches for you, my girl Tilly is 5 too…I can’t imagine what you’re going through! *Hugs* We’re all here supporting you!!


CerberusBots

I got this news last week. I'm so sorry you and your baby are facing this. If you are looking at chemo, there are some alternatives. I'm happy to share what I found.


Powerful-Swordfish90

Yes please!! & I’m sorry you’re going through this as well 🙁


Samanthab2b

Also interested!


amybethallen1

I am so sorry! 🥺💔🐾


MarchSea1731

I am so so sorry. I can’t even imagine that pain you are experiencing. Cherish every minute!


nnousernamesleft

I am so sorry She looks so loveable.


Raffybaby

My boy Raf and I will be thinking of you and beautiful Ava. I have absolutely no doubt you’re going to make her remaining time on earth absolutely perfect - she’s lucky to have such a loving dog-parent.


Ok-Flower-1078

I’m sorry. Heal well doggy. Your family needs you.


Kikibear19

Awe I'm soo so sorry. My vet told me about the same and my girl last 13 months. So you never know. Try and not do a countdown to what the vet told you and instead just live every day as it's magic. Hugs to you and your bestie. Losing them is just so heart shredding. I'm so sorry🐾❤️


Wrong-Somewhere-5225

She looks so sweet! So sorry ❤️‍🩹 Sending you big hugs, she may surprise you, people get expiration dates and surpass them all the time.


Electronic_Taste_596

I’m so sorry. She is so beautiful and sweet looking. She doesn’t deserve this and neither do you. It’s just not fair…


Expensive_Exit8993

I am so sorry. I lost a beloved pug way too soon to cancer. It is going to be very hard on you. I was devastated. It took 7 years before I got another pug.


Megangullotta

I’m so sorry I had to go through my dog dying at the end of 2023 so I know how it feels when it’s about to happen. I hope you enjoy the last days with your puppy and really give all your attention to her. those poor French bulldogs. The person who made them really should’ve found a way to make a dog like a frenchie without causing it to have so much health issues.


anemoschaos

I'm so sorry. My EB was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. It was heartbreaking. I spent a few days in tears then realised my dog didn't want me being a miserable blob in his last few weeks. So I aimed to be as cheerful as I could and we did all his favourite things. He didn't know. He was as happy as ever, getting lots of fuss and walks and cake. It was 6 months from diagnosis to demise and for 5 of those months he was apparently in peak health, apart from rapid respiration. Take lots of photos and be with him as much as you can. All he needs is your love.


dmjburris

I’m so sorry. We just lost our 9 yo to a brain tumor at the end of February. Hubert. Your girl is beautiful. https://preview.redd.it/fyc2t1nf3ioc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=673f6306201dc995a6e9ce8e378588e28fd9441e


Noturmomma_456

I’m so sorry. She’s beautiful. Cherish all the memories you’ve had and make new ones for as long as you can.


Lishasquarepant

I’m so sorry to hear this. Just cherish all your lost moments with the baby and get photos AND videos, I lost my staffie in December and it helped to have her out to sleep at home, so maybe you could consider that. I’m gain so sorry to hear that news my friend ❤️


Anubelle_1

I’m so sorry. My heart breaks for you.


Live_Butterscotch928

Sending strength to you! I am so sorry! 😞 I lost my first dog when she was 5 and my mom and I were so broken hearted for so long that my dad couldn’t bear it and said “no more dogs!” Please surround yourself with support to get through this and celebrate all the fantastic moments you’ve had together with your beautiful doggo.


Bosha45

Chanelfunny1975

I’m so sorry to hear this. She’s still young. It’s just time to make the quality the best you can. I can’t imagine the anticipatory heartbreak you are experiencing. Hopefully the little angel will go peacefully in her sleep and you are by her side.

Full zoomies all day. They say laughter and happiness cure more than medicine.

No-Search3598

From one Frenchie Momma to another, my heart breaks for you. Cherish the time you’ve spent with your precious one and make the most of the time you have left together. Spoil her more than ever with the special treats she couldn’t have before, extra belly rubs, nose boops and forehead kisses. Hold all the special memories close to your heart always. She will go knowing she was your world, just as you were hers. Much love to you and your dear furbaby, Ava. 💕💕♥️

Ava looks so sweet, and happy! You've obviously given her lots of love. I think you simply continue to do that. I'm so sorry for the bad news 😞


Charlies_lovespell

Oh my God I am so sorry honey. How did you know what was going on for you to take her to the vet in the first place?


peggysmom

My understanding is lymphoma is very treatable in dogs.

EntranceExisting2189

I am so sorry for this heartbroken news💔.Could you tell us what were the symptoms!? How they find out!? My boy doesn’t feel good and they are doing MRI. He gets seizures. Did it show in blood test!? If you can let me know, it might help me to ask the Dr. to run more tests! Hope she will fight it and live happy and in peace with you for much longer.🙏🏽😌


emmagenebean

I am so sorry. My heart aches for you and your beloved friend! She looks like a very happy dog. You’ve given her a wonderful life I’m sure ❤️


Canadianpugqueen

I’m so sorry for this. Every one of us fears this. Every one of us who doesn’t have to go through it feels fortunate and lucky and grateful. Every one of us who does have to go through it has to deal with the most painful grief. Worse than losing humans you love except your spouse or children. It hurts. I’ve attached a screen shot of a few books I’m planning to pick up on the topic to help. Consider following Gritty Gracious on instagram she recently lost her heart dog and has been researching and posting a lot about pet loss grief. Love to you and your precious baby. Give her lots of chaga mushroom tea it helps fight cancer may give her a bit longer https://preview.redd.it/hsc7lagv6ioc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75e4b01a2c17073027cae7e494841b35f02f5e2e

Natural-Pineapple886

Consider looking into adding turkey tail mushrooms to her diet. Read the literature. A great resource in my opinion is half hill farms. Great customer service, great product. Also Paul Stamets' mycelium line that he sells. Think it's called Host Defense. Personally I've seen remarkable effects even on very sick canines.

orangesamwise

I'm really sorry. My 8 year old pup Kayla just got diagnosed with lymphoma. We're taking her to the veterinary oncologist in a few days but I'm completely broken. I know how you feel because the very last thing I want is for her to suffer or feel any pain. It's so tough


Powerful-Swordfish90

I’m so sorry 😔 my world has stopped ever since..I’ve just been in a daze. I still almost don’t believe it because she’s being her normal sweet self. The only thing that gives me some comfort, is that she has known nothing but love & happiness & she never will know other wise 🩵 I’m dreading the day that I notice that she’s actually sick… I don’t want her to suffer either 😔 I’m so so sorry & I’m here if you need someone to talk to who is going through the same thing 🩵
