In reply to the discussion: My dog died. [View all]IthinkThereforeIAM
(3,113 posts)... few years ago, my ex-wife got assigned to work in NYC for a week, her 13 year old Shih Tzu, Max, had just had 6 inches of intestine removed due to cancer and she asked me to take care of him. She stated he would not eat and was weak... I make homemade bread in, "The Bread Machine/Welbilt", and got him to eat/scarf up the crusts from my sandwiches. After a day and a half or so he was jumping around playing outside with my own Shih Tzu, Peanut. And then he started eating Peanut's dog food, too!
Of course when I messaged my ex that Max started playing around for a minute or two when outside, she said, "you better not be lying to me"!
He lived another 6 months.
I share this so that if you are in this situation again, something to try.
Regards.
