One of our dachshunds, who was 13, passed away a few hours ago today. She had been diagnosed with Cushings a few weeks ago and was starting to take medication for it, however it seemed to have side effects. While she seemed to be getting better a couple of days ago, however this morning she got worse and after taking her to the vet, we found she was experiencing kidney failure, and they didn't know how long she had.
We brought her home so she could be comfortable, but then she deteriorated quickly and just after we called the vet to have her brought in to be put to sleep to end her pain, she passed away in my brother's arms. It's especially hard on him because she was his dog.
