The Dingle family dog has had a number of health scares throughout his life.
In 2010, he was poisoned in a shocking storyline after chemicals started to get into the ground near the Dingles' land.
And just a few months ago, in May, he was accidentally run over by Zak.
Alfie was later rescued by Lachlan White, and eventually got emergency surgery by the vet.
Show bosses have not yet weighed in on if it really is the end for the Dingle family dog, but previews for upcoming episodes hint at holiday heartache for the family.
