Thanks everyone.. This has been the hardest and most traumatic thing ever. I still cant function normally, and honestly, don't know when I'll be able to. He was my first dog, we got him at 10 weeks as soon as we bought our first house. I have no kids yet, and spent practically 24/7 with...

He came from Sierra dobie in Tennessee. I've sent them an email letting them know not only about this tragedy but all of Jax's health issues.

Hello everyone, This group has brought me so much support and knowledge throughout the almost 2 years I’ve had Jax. Unfortunately, Jax passed away suddenly yesterday, he would have been 2 in July. A little background.. he was diagnosed with Addison’s disease in October 2022. On April...

**Update We took Jax this morning to get his Bordetella Vaccine, and the visit was SUPER quick because they were very busy. However, I did manage to ask our vet what those bumps could possible be. She did not seem concerned at all, and said she thinks they are either muscle and/or fat...

He is a little above 30” (at the withers) (I should also add he is full euro if that makes a difference on weight/hight) Do you really think they could be fat pads? He's had them as a puppy, I looked back on older pictures and could slightly see them. Also, they feel hard, like bone and not like...

It feels hard like a bone or a muscle, it's been there ever since I can remember. I just looked back on puppy pics and I notice it, even back then. He's 14 months and 100 pounds, I def don't think he's underweight so not sure why they are protruding so much. Here's a few side shots of him.

Ahh, yea that makes sense. He isn’t really an overly active boy so it could definitely be he is just lacking muscle.

I also wanted to add.. I did look back on puppy pics and I def see them, they might look more prominent now, or it’s just because I was taking a pic of them directly.

I feel like they have always been there. I’ve just never thought anything about it until he was having a play date with his brother and I was looking at them both and noticed his brother doesn’t have that. He doesn’t seem phased by them, but it sure is interesting.. I will update Friday!

My vet never said anything about it but then again, I never pointed it out to them. I’ve honestly never thought anything of it until now. I do have an apt on Friday so I will bring it up then. I was just curious if anyone had any idea if this is normal

Hello All, Weird and maybe silly question... are these just his hip bones sticking out? I don't believe Jax is skinny to the point where his bones would be showing (If anything he could probably lose 1-2 pounds), so I'm curious if this is normal? I don't notice these sticking out on his brother.

LOL same 🤣 It could possibly be a bug bite, but it doesn't seem to itch him. I will def try Benadryl and see if that helps... good idea, thanks!

I don't believe he slid or bumped into anything between yesterday and today. It does not feel warm, and I've been touching it and that area all morning and he doesn't seem bothered by it at all. It certainly scared me as it wasn't there yesterday and then magically appeared today.. And then...

Hello Everyone, Jax turned 1 last month and is growing so much! He weighed in at 93 pounds at his vet visit last month. Although, to me he still looks like all legs lol. Today, as soon as I woke up I noticed a lump on Jax's side, which he did not have yesterday. No injuries have happened, and...

Hey guys! I can’t believe it but Jax is already 10 months old, he weighed in yesterday at 85 pounds. Honestly, he looks so long and lanky I didn’t even think he was 85 pounds! He is pretty tall, so I’m assuming the weight is mostly in height. I don’t believe he has even started filling out yet...
