Dog dying of lung cancer?? my coworker is a smoker, and smoked around her dog for years and years, and now?

the dog is dying of lung cancer due to 2nd hand smoke. she needs to euthanize him, he is just coughing way too much, and is suffering. i can't even look at her or talk to her, because she is keeping him alive, and i went and visited the dog before and he is just suffering. poor baby.

anyway, please spread the word, that 2nd hand smoke kills dogs too. if you know a smoker or if you are a smoker don't smoke around your dogs.

did you know that?? i didn't till a month ago.

I am a smoker, and i never thought of that, but you are right... I will never again smoke when my dog is around.

Thank you for this information, I find it really useful, I adore my dog and I don't want something like that to happen to her.

I guess it's no surprise since it harms humans too. Too bad people don't think about pets around when they smoke. I used to smoke but never smoked in any house I lived in. It's also sad that since this is terminal for the dog that she's letting it suffer. Why not put the poor thing out of its suffering. Shame on her!
I knew that. Secondhand smoke is just as bad for dogs as it is for people.

I used to groom a bichon that came into the shop a dark YELLOW color because her owners smoked so much. You can tell which dogs are owned by heavy smokers, the dogs smell like an ashtray.
That's a terrible thing. no one in my family smokes anymore except for my aunt. Thank you so much! You must have a big heart for caring about dogs around the world so much! You should get a few recommendations from R.O.A.R.-an Animal Planet organization. You're getting one from me!
I know that a long time ago. 2nd hand smoke kills, whether it be humans or dogs. I read somewhere a long time ago that if you infuse cigarette smoke into a small container with a plant it it, the plant will wither too!
Oh my dad is A SMOKER and he smokes around r 3 dogs! :o( anyway thank i will pass the message to him so that he stops smoking around the poor pets dog or not no animal deserves that!!
i have a 11 year old do so his lungs r not so strong now!

:o) thank lots :o)
what is your question??
it sounds like your just venting because you a non-qualified vet. has decided she caused the dogs condition.

You may or may not be correct, but the bottom line is it's not "your" dog and it really is none of your business how she lives her life.
