Is the dogs gums and eyes jaundice(sp?) I had a female that was bloated bad, started losing weight everywhere except her belly because of the fluid buildup but had to put her down, she had liver and kidney failure.
This is all that the vet said would happen to our dog eventually. He now looks the same but just with a big belly. I think the dog will out live me and im 29. I gave our dogs frech water today and he was running and jumping around. He's definately a fighter! Good luck to ya brother!
