our 5 month old beagle puppy has been sick for the last week or so and has had several trips to the vet. today we found out that he has acute renal failure, ultrasound shows abnormal kidneys, one not even functioning. the doctor is going to keep him over the weekend on IV treatment but he may not make it.

 

the transmission in blue was finally replaced but apparently its bad, sounds like someone dumped bolts in it.. 1st and 2nd don't work 3rd and 4th sorta work, 5th doesn't, and reverse is hit or miss.

So sorry to hear about your puppy. Dogs really are a super delight. Sadly the more "pure" bred they are, the more physical problems there are. Hip displasia (sp?) cancers, etc. Mutts generally live longer. Had one for 18 years once, but have had purebreds and 12 years has been the max with one. Others? 7 years to 8 years.

In 1957 I got a Beagle from a breeder in Old Town, Maine. He went from Me, to Spain, to Washington, to S. Carolina to Oregon, to Hawaii to New Mexico with me. He was the most stubborn, contrary and loveable dog I ever shared my life with. Really cried when I buried him. 17 years old, old age got him. Certainly hope he makes it OK. A hug, scratching the ears and petting does more for a dog, any animal, than any vet or medicine can do.
