Hurricane passed away at home last night. He was suffering from cardiomyopothy - a very common condition in Boxers where the heart gets enlarged over time and fluid begins to build up around the heart and inside the lungs. We saw his chest x-ray and the size of his heart was unbelievable! He was such a champ and didn't really show any signs until about the last week. The vet was shocked that he was even able to walk. We brought him home from the vets office at 4pm with some meds to help with the fluid build up and the knowledge that he probably didn't have long.
Unfortunately, we were NOT prepared when he suddenly collapsed in the kitchen at about 6:45 that same evening. He didn't suffer and he died in Tom's arms. It is unimaginably difficult to go on but Zac and Tyler will keep us distracted!
Hurricane was the best friend and dog that we could have ever hoped for and he will be dearly missed!
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers!
