I found out today that sweet, sweet Malachi, the Basset Hound that was found by the Oromocto SPCA in New Brunswick had to be put down today.
He was severely dehydrated, and chronically malnourished and had lost so much weight that his heart and kidneys were close to failure. Even under medical attention he was still losing weight.
After all the tests, blood work, x-rays and medication, it was decided the best thing was to end the pain and suffering already past and to come.
My heart, for a second time this week was crushed into a million pieces. I know he;s no longer suffering, and that his last few days were filled with unending love and affection and attention, but I'd still rather a miracle and he was getting better.
