Xsweetiipie72x.... first off I just want to say my heart goes out to you at hearing of the loss of your dog. I am truly sorry. I would have prayed for him had I read this forum when it was started, but I am now praying for you and your family, as I know pets can become like family...I lost my 17 year old cat last July and still miss her big time!!!
Nest, I want to share something that I recieved in an email very recently.....and this is NOT to say this had ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with your dog dieing....but when you mentioned liver failure......ok well here it is......
