 My Baby Has Gone To Heaven
Hi everyone. I was so happy when I found this site. My baby Lucy just passed away on Monday July 25,2005. Sunday she was just fine and then Monday morning I found her just laying in her room not responding to me the way she always does. She was drooling and acting very confused. Her tummy was tight as a rock. I took her to the vet at which point they started all kinds of test. Lucy was only 9 months 10 days old. My vet suspected a portosystemic shunt or liver shunt which means that blood vessels are suppose to go through the liver to be filtered before entering the heart. It is thought that she had this shunt which allowed dirty blood to go directly to the heart. My vet worked on her for 3 hours before Lucy just couldn't go anymore and stopped breathing. I sat there with her lifeless body in my arms for an hour crying and tried to tell her goodbye. An autopsy is being performed as we speak for a true cause of death. I am still a mess. I was in love with Lucy. When I would come home from work she would pass my husband and come straight to me for hugs and kisses. She slept with me most of the time. A very cuddly dog. I got her when she was 4 months old and we made an instant connection. My heart is broken and it's hard to go home or do anything because everything reminds me of her. I took her everywhere. I will get her ashes sometime next week. It just hurts my heart so much. |
