For all the people that responded to my post some days ago. thanks again for all your kind words
Some sort of tumor on his 6th neck vertebrae had almost disintegrated it. He would have been in to much pain even if he managed to heal it.
Our vet came home to us and helped him on his way. We were there the hole way and i felt his little heart stop.
We buried him in the front yard yesterday…this summer i will plant peas on his grave…he loved them
He was only 8 months old…we had him for 6 months
My heart is broken and i will never forget you Marley. I love you my little baby boy.
Edit:
Thank you all for your kind words❤️ i hope you all have a new year full of love and happiness
I am so sorry you’ve lost your beautiful boy at such a young age. Saying goodbye to our beloved pets is always awful, but you both were tragically robbed of many years of memories. I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you and your family. I wish you all peace and healing as you grieve.
After you’ve had some time to process, I would recommend reaching out to the breeder with the veterinary records. At the bare minimum they should know what health concerns are in their lines, and it may help another family avoid what you’re going through. Cancer is very common in Goldens, but even moreso for English creams and other newer color variants. Best case scenario the breeder will have their dams and sires undergo genetic testing and stop breeding dogs with health concerns, but if not, they deserve to be dragged for knowingly breeding and placing dogs who are more likely to live short, painful lives.
