Jesse was just everything I ever had in a baby. When he was 6 weeks old, I bought 2 puppies who were isolated til they were given a clean bill of health by the vet. Turns out they were carriers of campylobacter. I had to treat all of my babies with Doxycycline and the second dose for Jesse was a near fatal one. He stopped breathing and was totally allergic. I drove with him to the vet doing CPR and driving. I am sure that some of his vomitus was blown into his lungs. He had severe scaring and had limited lung compacity and was so prone to pneumonia. With each hosp stay he just didn't reach his level of health that he had before and kept getting worse. He gave his daddy one last kiss and glanced my way as if he knew that was the end. He and I went off to the vet where he was sent peacefully across Rainbow Bridge..
He is buried under the holly tree along with several other pets.. |
