I took my chocolate lab to the vet today because he had not been acting himself lately. Anyway, I dropped him off and thought that the doctor would call and say that he was just sick and he would be fine. Well I received a call, but it was worse than I expected; he has cancer in his mouth and nasal cavity, and there is absolutely nothing they can do for him besides put him to sleep. He was my first dog, and he was with me during some hard times. R.I.P Lou

So sorry. It about killed me when I found out from the Vet that my 10 year old Golden Retriever had Acute Renal failure and that there was nothing that could be done for her. I now have a 11 month old Golden Retriever/Lab mix.

 

Just some advice: Don't wait too long before getting your next dog.

Everybody should take their pets for regular check-ups. I usually took him to the vet 2 times a year for check-ups, and he was always cleared. I couldn't believe it when I got the call saying he had cancer. Luckily my dad breeds labs, so I'll get one of his. It just won't be the same.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I had to have my first dog put down a couple years ago. I had him since I was 5 years old and he was 15 when we had him put down because of arthritis.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My dog (jack russell-terrier-chow-pound mix lol) is 14.5 years old and I try to enjoy every morning she wakes up and greets me. She was "my sisters" dog but has since really become mine after my sister moved out. I think part of me wants to continue living at home (even though I'm in my junior year of college) just because I want to enjoy all the time I have left with her. She is really healthy right now, but you never know for how long. Sorry for your loss and good luck picking your next dog.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
