Hoka Hey Buddy Conner

[Dennman]

Sad day on the farm today. I haven't wanted to share our sadness with the health probs our big buddy Conner has had in the last couple of months.They all came to an end today as Bren made the Vet call and had him sent to a peaceful sleep.Gonna miss the dufuss.He's become such a big part of our daily lives.

Yes.Irish Wolfhound.Only 2 1/2 yrs. old.Poor fella went through bad diarhea bout then got diabetes incipitus (sp?).It's not sugar diabetes but water diabetes.A hormone deficiency causes the kidneys to just pass water.No urea in the urine.The acids build up in the joints .We got the hormone meds (to be administered through eye drops) and it seemed to work but then he went blind.Got confused and bumping into things.Took a nip at Bren.He'd bark softly at night when he had to piss.Happened every 1 1/2 hrs or so.That was runnin Bren down w/ her own problems needing rest.I'd get up at least 3 times a night w/ him.Had a skyline lead for him but he'd get lost out neer the end.
Poor fella had such a fantastic temperment. Lately he was obviously in pain but still had a healthy appetite and desire to go with us on the feeding chores at the barns.
Tears.i'm done.
