- Max my 1st Puppy
This is MAX, he was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with an excellent Pedigree.
Max was my first puppy. I house trained him fairly quickly.
He was a very intelligent and very loving, loyal little dog.
Cavalier K C Spaniels are prone to heart problems and many die prematurely from heart failure.
Max had a good strong heart and he proved to be a real fighter when he did get sick.
Poor Max developed a very severe skin disease. He visited the veterinary surgery at least once every week, to get regular bathing in a strong chemical smelling solution. But he stayed happy and boisterous, and became a favourite with the veterinary nurse that would bath him weekly.
He lost all of his beautiful fur coat more than once and he used to chew his paws, so had to wear a cone type collar to stop his biting. His skin would become scabby and he'd go bald. He never lost his sparkle and his enjoyment of life, running happily in fields with my son's.
Eventually nothing more could be done for poor Max and he took his final journey to the veterinary surgery one Friday evening. We were saddened to return home without our poor little Max.
