dog died! :(

[leanne357]

I really dont have a question but need to share an experience. My dog was laying under the coffee table last night she got up and her back legs would not work right, she had no control. Then her front legs went stiff. We took her to the ER vet, as this happened round 'bout midnight. The vet gave her some meds and a sedative. He (the vet) suggested we leave her overnight to see if there were improvement. No improvement this morning. We lost her. It is just strange one minute she was fine and all of a sudden she was not. We have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she was nine years old, we have had her forever. My husband has no children and Harely was his baby girl. It sure is hard to lose aq beloved pet. She had a fantastic life while she was here, spoiled as hell!!

I just lost my Cavalier King Charles named Lacy a month ago and I'm so devastated that I still cry on and off all day. She was in good heath it seemed, 9 years old, going to be 10 today... and then she had a cough. I didn't think much of it and tried natural remedies, but then decided to take her to the vet. He didn't even do blood work or X-rays and just decided to give her heart medication. After a week of her on them, I decided to take her off of them due to the fact that they were making her faint. within two days, she was dead... died right in front of me. her tail went stiff and she fell over to the side. I was hysterical and it was four in the morning, and I didn't know what to do. she had been there for me through so much... the death of my mother, father, best friend... etc etc. I feel empty inside and miss her so much it hurts. I don't know what happened! I shouldn't have taken her off the meds but she was so sick on them. I feel so much guilt. she is now buried in the backyard and I planted a magnolia tree in her honor.

The same thing, and the same scenario, just happened to me and my dog, who was only 1 yr. old. It's hard to come to grips with this mystery. I'm at a lost, and so hurting.

My baby boy Simon died a week ago at the age of seven after the vet misdiagnosed infected scar tissue as a tumor.  When they removed it, she said it leaked bacteria into his body and he died.  They weren't prepared for this type of surgery.  I need help getting over this as I can't even get out of bed.  He was truly my best friend!  He was a rescued terrier mix with hard life before finding me.  I brought him out of the slums and tried to give him the life he deserved! How can I ever get over this?

So sorry to hear about your dog, he was so young,  What did the vet think happened?  Did you have an autopsy done?

The same thing happened to a good friend of mine, they had their dog neutered and he died on the way home from the vet’s office. He said the vet was going to do an autopsy for free because the dog should not have died being only one year old.I tolf him to call the vet immediately and have him do a blood sugar test because our breed of dog (yorkies) are famous for having low blood sugar in times of stress. He called the vet, the vet did the test, and that WAS the reason his dog died, his blood sugars (after having to be restricted from eating all night and half the day)  put his blood sugar levels down to almost Zero. I am so sorry for your loss.
