I'm very sorry for your loss. I understand blaming yourself for what you should've, could've, would've done...I've been there and it just wasn't meant to be. |
Thats why the vet wanted to concentrate on keeping her hydrated. And at no stage was she dehydrated, though it was because we had to be persistant and make her take the water even when she didnt want it. Hourly checks during the night.
I still think that she was just too weak to fight whatever was wrong with her.
