Thank you so much to everyone who has responded on this thread. Your warm thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. Losing Sadie is hard but I don't think it has fully set in yet as I have been so busy taking care of the puppies. But we will get through this. I owe it to her.
She wasn't really acting sick until Tuesday, when I insisted they move up her appointment. She ate well after having the pups and only stopped Tuesday, the day she died. They had me check her gums Monday when I first voiced an uneasy feeling. They were pink. They did not fade out til Tuesday. It all just went so fast, it was not an ordinary infection. The vet said it went toxic very quickly. I am sure I will blame myself enough, even still. I just never should have bred her as I was not really willing to go through this risk. Never again. |
