My dd was awake at 5 this morning so i sorted her out and went to go back to bed, walking through the hallway i noticed a bad smell, as if my mums dog (one of two german shepards i am looking after while they are in America) had done a poo, i turned the lights on thinking 'great just what i need at 5 in the morning!' but the dog wasn't breathing properly and wouldnt get up she'd also (sorry if tmi) pooed herself where she lay, so i thought this is wrong and woke my partner up to try and find the emergency vets number.
finally managed to get hold of it and rang the vet at half 5, he said 'can it wait till surgery' i didnt think so and even if it could this dog wouldnt get up shes huge and im 3 month pg so i needed someone to come here. he said he'd be an hour.
so the dog seemed not too bad until ten past 6 and her breathing got shallow, so i try and ring the vet back, no answer for 5 minutes and by then she'd stopped breathing, hes says he'll be here as soon as pos but by the time he got here it was 5.35.
i dont really know where im going with this but why did it take him so bloody long to get here, i cant understand hwy this should have happened to a perfectly well dog, and all i can see is that he took forever and now my mums dog has died.
to make it worse my mum is in America as iv said, its her first time ever to go abroad and was to celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary. i dont know wether it'd be better to tell her or keep quiet till the day before they come home, and even if i wanted to tell them they are touring so i dont know where exactly they are or how to get hold of them.
sorry its long, just needed a rant i think, i feel a bit better now!
