@Kandae11 the first time I heard of a pet with bronchitis was @CarolDm and her cat Brendel. When the vet said my Gizmo had bronchitis I was shocked. I've had bronchitis and I felt miserable so my poor dog must be too especially since he can't talk

Yes , l had been thinking about dogs an diseases for some time now, especially since my nephew's dog Lion seemed to be having a problem. I was doing some research on the internet , then l saw your mention of your dog having bronchitis and decided to write about dogs and illnesses.

@Marilynda1225 It is sad when Brendel has a breathing episode, I can't do anything but watch. I almost lost her recently due to this condition.

The Golden Retriever of my niece had to be put down because of cancer, same the 5 years old cat of my neighbor. It was heartbreaking for me, not only for the owners.

@Kandae11 - You are right. My neighbors brought their cat many times to the vet, they really loved their kitty, but there was nothing that could be done to save him. The cat came to visit me the day before they put him down, I had the feeling he knew it was the last time.

It is sad when they must be put down , but you don't want to see them suffer. They can't tell us how they are really feeling.

I had a cat who developed a heart problem. It was heart breaking. Actually, another one had some sort of issue like that as well but he was much older. He still lived to a ripe, old age.

Some do live longer than expected - but it is really sad when they leave.

I never did have a sick pet, but I have lost pets for other reasons. The only thing one of my dogs ever had was kennel cough and we had to take him to the vet, luckily he was fine after that. My friend had a cat that got cat lukemia and it had to be put down, that was very sad.

Yes, it is heartbreaking. My last two dogs suffered at the end. One from arthritis. He could barely walk sometimes. The other had aggressive cancer. It was hard to put both of them down, but it was humane to do so.

I agree it was the humane thing to do. I won't want to see my dog suffer.

We have to take care of pets, when they are healthy or sick, so we have to be prepared for the worst

A good healthy diet is best for them but sometimes vitamins can be good for them as well. I know the one old dog here my husband gives joint supplements like he takes.

It was really heartbreaking. When I was a kid I witnessed that our dog needs to be put to rest because he was infected with a virus. I pity him and he was close to our family.

You should take the best care of a pet when you have it.

I've had pets in the past but never gave them vitamin supplements. It does seem like a good idea. Like humans having a healthy diet will keep them healthier and could extend their lives. Pets and all animals have a certain life expectancy of course, but why not provide them products which will boost their immune system.

It could even lengthen their life span while keeping them healthy. The life span of humans has increased remarkably over the years.

These days, with be pet insurance, if I had a pet, I'd like to keep them healthy. Best to check with your vet about it. I'd one dog, put down, heartworms, way back in the 60s. I can't afford pets now and live in no pet apt.
