<DIV><STRONG> Does anyone have any suggestion to help Buddy my nine year
old basset get over losing his best friend of eight years. Bert, my other basset
had to be put down Saturday. He was found to have CHF in early April. He had he
usual check up in February and all was fine. Early April he started
coughing and we carried him to his Vet. After a few test he suggested Bert go to
a Cardiologist. We carried him there.They EKG, Blood work and an echo
cardiogram. She thought the meds would help him to live longer but there is no
cure for CHF.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>He was ok till last Sunday. He went back to his vet Wednesday and
the Cardiologist Thursday, she changed his meds and by Friday he was so weak, we
had to pick him up and carry him after he would make it out to the bathroom. He
was so weak.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Buddy and I are heartbroken. Buddy walks around smelling everything
Bert had come in contact with.He will not eat and he appears to be constantly
searching for Bert.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Does anyone have any suggestions? I plan to get another basset a
bit later, but I feel I must adjust to Bert being gone first.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Thanks to all who took the time to read my email.</STRONG></DIV>
