Roman Report post Posted March 31, 2015 Get him to a better vet who can ultrasound his torso ,head and heart. Could be a tumor, Do not let them give him prednisolone or steroid it will only aggravate him and make him bleed more. Mastiff dogs do not do well on steroids. Hermangiosarcoma is a dog specific cancer that moves super fast . It killed one of my bullmastiffs last year and came on instantly. Nailed it.

kinnsella Report post Posted March 31, 2015 My condolences. Our family has lost a couple of Alsatians. Same thing, one day they seemed perfectly healthy, the next they were gone. The speed that they can pass is shocking. It's awful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnythebull Report post Posted March 31, 2015 Nailed it. I'm so sorry I was right. I wanted to be more aggressive and really harass you to get him to a vet with better equipment....You could not have saved him don't second guess that but at least you would have known and been able to decide what to do. To be harsh, I always want to know even if I can't fix it because my biggest worry is not putting a Dog down to early but having it to be too late and they die horribly at home in front of you in the middle of the night. It's better to have a few less days together and he goes out calmly in your arms. This is the reason I have 3 bullmastiffs, it's the worst to lose a dog and I'm way to attached to come home to a house with no dog or one lonely dog. All the best to you and I hope you feel better soon. Best cure is always a puppy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I didnt need to spend $1500 on anti fungals and anti-biotics. And spend the last weeks of his life struggling to force them down his throat. And I didn't need to wait til he went completely (This is where I would normally put an expletive but Im working on that) blind. Afraid. Terrified. Unable to take a step without fear of falling. In an unfamiliar place with me dragging him by his leash to get him to move... With him banging his (%%%%%%%%) head on every wall and chair along the way.... The last hours of his life were absolute (^&^&&^) cruelty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy4500 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Went to a different vet. Took an ultrasound. Multiple tumors on the liver and abdominal cavity. Histeocytosis. Bleeding internally. He's gone. My condolences to you, your family, and your dog for having to deal with this terrible disease. My family lost their BMD to histiocytosis last October. One week things are fine, the next week they stop eating, and soon enough you just stand there helpless as they deteriorate. There's really nothing that can be done except make them as happy as possible for the remaining time. BMD are a tough breed to own, susceptible to so many illnesses, but every day you spend with one is a joy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Frig man, I read the start of this thread some time ago and came back hoping for the best. I didn't expect this.....I am really sorry to hear what happened. Your frustration with the situation is obvious, and it sucks that you, your family and Caesar had to go through what you did. RIP Caesar.
