I had to take our dog to the vets last night as she was bleeding yesterday - more than was normal for a season, she was letargic, had upset tum, off her food and drinking loads. Vet thought she might have womb infection, (she was nearly 10) so took some bloods and was due to call me with results this morning. Vet gave her a pain killing injection and antibiotic injection and sent us home. DH stayed up with her all night, and Mum came round to watch her today, but in the houw from when DH went to bed, I left for work and mum arriving she had died. DH phoned vet who said blood test came back normal and she was really shiocked she had passed away. She said it was a mystery.
I'm so upset - at work and desperately trying not to cry, have to tell DS (7) when I collect him from school this afternoon.
She was the last of my 'doggy babies' the other two died the year I lost my Dad, with in 3 months of each other (4 yrs ago now) so losing my last one is heart breaking. I can't type this without crying - how can I keep composure whilst telling DS - he will be more upset if he sees me upset but I wont be able to help crying.
just needed to tell some one.
