Finnegan, the double-tragedy.

January 24, 2019 by PetGoodbyes Leave a Comment

Jeff and Rachele said goodbye to Finnegan on January 24, 2018 — less than a month after losing their Lea.

We thought it was just depression from loosing Lea.  He started snapping at our puppy when they would wrestle after Lea passed. We thought he was just depressed. Then last Thursday night we felt the lumps in his throat. We made an emergency trip to the vet Friday morning.  She suspected cancer. We got a confirmation from pathology yesterday afternoon.  

We considered starting prednisone today but he is doing so bad we are not sure we’re not hours from losing him. He’s old and we don’t think that it makes sense to try to save him only to go through this all again soon anyway.  

We are devastated.
