My dog Poppy sadly passed away yesterday.
She spent a few days at the kennel while we went away. When my DH picked her up she could barely walk. He took her straight to the vet who examined her and said her liver was enlarged and her heart was failing. He phoned me and we made the decision to let her go gently.
I feel so quilty that her last days were at the kennel feeling ill. She was fine when we dropped her off on Sunday. She was 12 and had slowed down a little recently, but otherwise fine. I am not sure why they didn't contact us to let us know, or call the vet. I am so angry.
I wanted to contact the kennel and complain, but DH says to leave it. I agree that the outcome might not have been different, but also that they had a duty of care towards her. They posted on their FB page some photos of some of the dogs playing on the field, but Poppy wasn't on any of them. I commented underneath asking if she was OK and that I was looking forward to seeing her, they didn't comment.
When DH picked her up they explained that she had been very quiet and had just sat there and not eaten for the 3 days she was there.
What would you do if you were in this position please?
