Some good friends returned from vacation recently only to notice that one of their little dogs was very ill. The vet was able to diagnose him with Addison's disease which affects the adrenal glands. So they said the disease is triggered by stress. It seems that everytime its owners go away, the dog gets stressed and indeed almost died while the owners were away for 2 weeks. So it is on medication and will receive a double dose next time the owners have to go away.
I will often take photos on my walks, and I love to see the flowers blooming:

nice flowers
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that poor pup. Where did his owners leave him for the two weeks when they were gone?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
They have a good doggie daycare place.
DeleteToo bad the pup is that stressed. Did the owners know the dog has that much trouble?
DeleteThey finally diagnosed him at the vet's this last time. It had happened before but they didn't know what the problem was.
DeleteOh gracious! Dogs can get stressed when the owners go away? To the point of illness? Wow!
ReplyDeletePoor little doggie! Lovely flower photos! Have a nice day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThat is sad for the little dog and the owners too. Sometimes going away cannot be avoided, such a pity when a dog can't understand that and stresses. Really glad they can give it medication to help though.
ReplyDeleteLoved the flowers. Poor dog. Sad.
ReplyDeleteI have seen dogs acting very peculiar and knew that the dog missed the owners, but I didn't know it is called Addison's disease.
ReplyDeleteBe careful with taking pictures, it is an addiction :)
Oh, that poor dog. This is another reason we don't have dogs, they take lots of care. Cats, not as much, but even our cats dislike us being gone. Pets are such a huge responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the reasons why I no longer have a pet.
ReplyDeleteFunny how doggies need their owners at times
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet photographs. Poor little pup, I hope the medications help him.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos...Poor baby...we babysat a toy poodle for years and she was very high strung. Every time I left her for a short time she would whine the whole time I was away. When I took her back to the owner she was fine. I love that little pup! Dogs are precious!
