How can people, or are they called monsters, who do this...

Oh dear Mike!
I’m sorry to read about Duke.
I really don’t t know what to say.
Why do you automatically think somebody poisoned him? I tend to agree with Imogene. Hair loss isn’t something that happens immediately. Is Duke an outdoors only dog?
I’m sending loving vibes his way. I hope he feels better really soon. It’s a good sign that he ate his food. I send loving vibes your way also. You seem very stressed . Of course you would be. 😟

I don't understand how anybody can do this to animals... Duke, our new rescue, was extremely healthy a week ago. We were out for our usual morning walk, and when I saw him, he had already swallowed something that looked like a pancake. He is going bald in areas, and his appetite is gone. His gums are not the vibrant pink colour they were a week ago... His energy level is nil...We have an appointment with our vet at 2:30 today, but it sounds like he was poisoned... If he is suffering as much as he is right now, he won't be coming home with us... I will not let him suffer in any way or form...

I just don't understand why anybody would do this on a quiet country road... Just as why would people put things in candies or apples during Halloween... If someone is that &^$%ing unhappy, or sick in their minds... do yourself in... Why do a harmless animal or kids in... WHY????

Depending on what happens at the vets this afternoon... I will post the outcome...

Makes me so angry...

So very sorry, Mike, sending prayers your way. 🙏
 
Something similar happened to one of our dogs. He wouldn't eat, lost a lot of weight, got to the point where he had to be picked up and taken out to do his business. The vet couldn't find out what was wrong. We think someone threw poison-laced food in our yard. Eventually, he started eating, and regained his strength.
 
He began going bald in his hind end about 5 hours after eating that pancake he found on the side of an ol dirt road, down the way from here... and then he began losing hair around his eyes... and his underarms...His elbows were a tad swollen yesterday, but he said that is probably because of his breed, and the way they stand...

He was doing a weeeee bit better today, but still quite tired as he has been in the last week...We watch out for him every second of the day... he ate his entire dinner as he did his breakfast this morning...but is sound a sleep on the couch now...

Again, I thank everyone for their caring, and kind words...
 
Thanks for the update. He’s sleeping on the coach, so clearly not an outdoor only dog.
I agree with you saying that eating his food is a good indication that hes doing well. I hope he makes a speedy recovery, for his sake and for yours. I’ll keep sending loving vibes your way.

Thank you, yes, he's eating, not looking for a lot of extras as he normally did, but yes, he is eating, and just wishes his nose was wet again... Hopefully tomorrow... But thank you for your kind words...

Duke is a family member, and is never left outside, unless he chooses to be outside longer... Thank you for your kind words...

Hi Mike,
I didn’t think you kept any dogs outside that you owned especially since I remember you talking about your order dog. I think I got confused by some of the things you posted about in this thread. Like the pancake Duke found. 🤷‍♀️
