My daughter has no children, she has 2 dogs who are her “children”. Alfie, who she rescued as a puppy is a lurcher and Sunny who she rescued about 5 years ago. Alfie is about 8yrs old. Over the past 14 months or so he has been very poorly and my daughter is at her wits end. He has become very lethargic, lost loads of weight and all he seems to want to do is lie down. Some days he won’t eat. He can go like this for weeks then suddenly he will have a few ‘good’ days where he will eat and has more energy He has also had diarhoea and constipation at different times.He has had loads of blood tests, x-rays etc. The vet has tried steroids, anti biotics, painkillers etc. Her insurance won’t pay any more and they only paid part of the bill anyway. She has spent all her savings and more to try and get him better. We have helped her out with money too as we know how much she loves him. He has seen several vets who are all stumped.
The vet is now suggesting that she take him to Lancaster Uni for them to do more scans, tests etc but this will cost around £10,000 !!! My daughter is talking about getting a loan, and she will, and I am so worried. I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever come across anything like this before with their dogs or can anyone suggest anything else to try before going down this route. She has changed his food, changed washing powder, monitored him when he does go out in case he is picking anything up etc. The other dog is fine. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
