Our brave and handsome Bullmastiff, Bowie D was put down on July 25, 2014. In 2013 he had an ACL replacement, then a fractured, and complications with an infection that took part of his flesh. He was a trooper and had a high tolerance of pain. He trusted us with a everything. He never growled or tried to bite. Even when we would have to hold his head and put his meds down his throat. He never truely recovered from the surgery. He weighed 163 lbs and Arthritis started to set in. It was becoming harder and harder for him to get up using his front legs. We noticed he couldn't use his front right leg. We took him to the vet and the xray showed he had fractured his front right leg. The tremendous weight on joints eventually takes its toll. We could not let him go thru another surgery and the recovery would take a toll on him. With a heavy heart, we decided the most humane thing to do was to put him down. He would have been 6 years old on August 21st. Bullmastiffs are dogs with pride, loyalty, bravery and fidelity. Bowie D was that kind of Bullmastiff. We will miss you dearly.
