I am vry upset at the moment. My 8 month old puppy got put to sleep today. His name was Fidget, he was a white maltese x bishon. (basically a little fluffball) He had the best temperament and was the best little dog. We had him for about five months, he was fine, happy, hyperactive and playful, nothing wrong with him, then this morning he was sick, wouldnt get up to move, if we sat him up he fell over etc, so we took him to the vet and found out his liver and kidneys had failed, and because of this the toxins had built up and his neurological system had started to go - ie why he couldnt stand up etc. He'd had something wrong with him since birth, but no vets picked anything up, even after initial blood tests etc to check specifically FOR stuff like that. There was absolutely nothing they could do to help him, so we had to get him put to sleep, i believe it was the most humane thing to do. I miss my little dog, and im so upset at the moment. Does anyone have any ways to make me feel better? from experience etc? It really hurting and everytime i close my eyes i see him looking up at me from that cold metal table before i left. I cant stop thinking he was fine last nite and now hes gone Any comments are very very appreciated. peace xxx ash
I feel so so sorry for you, I don't know what I'd do if my dog died so unexpectedly. It's not fair, but at least you can be sure that Fidget had a good life and he was loved. That's all that counts - even though his life was short, I am sure it was a happy and fulfilled life. *hugs*
perhaps in his honor you could go to the shelter and adopt a needy dog and give them a loving forever home since there is now room for one? i know you will probably need time to heal from this tragedy and i wish you a speedy healing and positive energy. and just remember as the above poster said that your dog was loved and had a great life..............
thanks guys I dont think i'll be getting a new dog any time too soon, but when we do decide to get a new family member, we have already decided to go the the Animal Welfare League and help out a dog who really needs our love and attention. Thank you for ur help and wishes xxx ash
<hugs> I'm sorry... I hope you feel better soon... Maybe he will come back to you in some way... when my dog died, my cat Misha came to me... when my hamster died my cat Tashy was found... so i think in some way he will be back...
Ash..I'm really sorry about your puppy. There is no magic cure to erase the pain, though. I had to put my boxer down a few years ago after a long battle with cancer. To this day, I still miss that dog. I think I always will. When you are ready for another buddy, you could go through a rescue group or a kill shelter and save a life. Sleep Sweet, Fidget.
Bunny, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! I have a little dog that I just love the stuffing out of, and if I lost her suddenly, it would hurt like hell. Take time to heal, and, when you are ready, consider getting another puppy...one who feels like he/she could be your best buddy for a long time...
omy, I am so sososo sorry for your loss.. My advise for you is to stick with purebred dogs in the future.. ones that are health certified and from reputable breeders.. This happens more then you think, alot of people I know have had puppies get very sick because of buying them from shelters and puppymills or out of the paper.. I send my regards hun.. Im sure hes in a better place .
