My Gordon Setter Merc Passed

[Auggie]

I had to put my 13.5 year old Gordon Setter, Merc to sleep last week. It sucks. He a was great hunter and even better buddy who loved fishing. I knew this was coming as about a year ago he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and put on Piroxicam.

Anyways, I filled the prescription a week before he passed and have a whole bottle and no dog. I called a few shelters/rescues and the vet to see if I could donate and no one wanted the stuff. I was able to donate his heartworm to the shelter.

If you have a dog on piroxicam feel free to message me and I'm happy to give you Merc's piroxicam.

I get more sad hearing of a dog's passing than a person.

There is just such a super bond.

May you and Merc meet again.

I can relate lost my short hair of 15 and a half at the end of April and my wiemerimer at age 16 and a half at the beginning of July. Knew it would be close as the were inseparable but still me and the Boxer are still reeling. Hard to adjust but my sympathy to you and your loss

Sorry to hear Auggie. Losing a best friend is indescribably hard.

Thank you everyone for the comments; it's much appreciated. I want to make sure that you saw, I'm trying to give away the Piroxicam. If your dog takes it or if you know someone who does let me know.

sorry to hear 13.5 years is a hell of a run for a bird dog. i remember when i was young i saw a picture of a gordon in outdoor life and thinking that is a bird dog.

Sorry for losing your dog. I still get in my feelings about my old dogs they are always around it seems. I will be around a lot of dog people this weekend and do some checking.
