In the end, it was a brain tumour that took him from us at 11 years old.
Oslo was diagnosed with IVDD at the age of 3… and he went on to live well into a normal life expectancy for a French Bulldog. To all of our loyal readers, I hope that sharing Oslo’s story and journey with IVDD has helped you all overcome your own struggles. And I hope that you are now on the other side of the rainbow bridge with full use of those silly back legs of yours- doing the French 500 like never before.
I hope that I did the right thing for you. Thank you for being such a wonderful boy, for loving and being kind to my son, for your loyalty, and for your trust. There are so many things I wish I could go back to do differently. I’m sorry for all the times I was impatient, or didn’t give you as many carrots as you wanted. Being your mama and #1 advocate over all these years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have loved you since the first time I laid eyes on you. His tense body relaxed, he laid his sweet head down, and went to sleep. I laid down with him while he passed, whispering into his ear the whole time how good of a boy he was and how loved he is. Our vet team was incredible throughout and let us do it on the lawn of the clinic– with birds in the trees, and the sun shining warmly. I made the very hard decision to say goodbye to him that morning, while he was still bright and himself, and still had some dignity left.
