Schipperke Jack, July 25, 2024


 Little Jack has been one of our companions since early 2018. His owner passed away and he was badly in need of a home. He became a permanent foster. Jack was a sensitive dog, and stayed with his owner in his final days. In the last few days we could see that Jack was tired, and had picked up a bit of weight. He went to the doctor today, but nothing unusual was evident, other than his temp was a few degrees below normal. We went out for a while this evening, and Jack passed away in his kennel while we were gone. He was a good dog and he will be missed.

I am sorry for your loss

B: Thank You! Burying our pets is always a difficult task. Our veterinarian did the post-mortem exam and found that Jack had a hemangiosarcoma, which had hemorrhaged. He had bled out internally, and quickly. It is a common cause of death in dogs.
