He has suffered with hip and leg problems for a while but has been doing very well. Saturday he began having problems standing, fell down the steps, etc. Once his pain meds kicked in, he was able to move again. Sadly, things progressed through the night to where he couldn't stand, had a massive seizure, and we had to carry him to and from the car to the vet's office. We knew before leaving that he wasn't going to get better and all the kids said their tearful goodbyes. The vet feels, in addition to his existing issues, he had a stroke or some other neurological issue causing him to lose control of his limbs, etc.
It was heartbreaking saying goodbye to our sweet, gentle, loving Buddy. He will live forever in our hearts until we meet again.
