When you say you wish you had Stormy's body examined after she died, I assume you mean a necropsy. I thought Stormy was killed by your other dog?  |
I assumed that my other dog "killed" her because when I got home I didn't know what else to think. It made sense that maybe my other dog hurt her some how but after actually speaking with my fiancee about what happen from when he heard her yelp to her passing it just has been bothering me alot and doesn't make sense. I mean it is possible that is what happen but the way he says she yelped, then was unresponsive on the floor, limp and starring straight into the air is all the exact same as how she was when she had seizures before. It didn't cross my mind at that time because it had been months since she had one. I was in shock and I was always worrying about her and keeping her safe, I didn't let her go for walks for too long or let my other dog bother her because I didn't ever want to stress her or anything. So the only thing I thought was maybe my other dog hurt her because I wasn't there to protect her. After I rushed home to find her "gone" my mother was with me and took her to be buried, I didn't think to bring her to get the necrospy. But now I really wish I had done it to make sure and be positive. I know it is too late now but I just am not convinced my other dog did anything to her. Who knows I guess. I am just really missng her and still hurting so much. I remember her first seizures where about two or so weeks after we got her and she was stressed from being at a new place, I was working all day and after I got home she had one and then another, her seizures were really bad but we got her breathing with CPR. She was so dopey afterwards and the vet never did figure out what caused them. After that I was laid off and I had been home with her always until I started working again. But she died on a Monday, I was gone to work Friday, Sat and Sunday 12 hours each, and I usually brought her in with me to the office but those days I didn't because my daughter was crying for me to leave her at home so I did. On Monday I was home for a couple hours in the morning but didn't pay too much attention to her, I did cuddle her on the couch for an hour but I had to go bring my car in to get fixed and I was gone for 5 hours. Maybe she was stressed that I was gone and thought I was abandoning her? Maybe she thought I was not coming back and she had a seizure and I wasn't there to do anything for her. My fiancee did what he could I know but he was in a panic and my daughter was here too, he had no car to rush her in he called me but I thought it was a sick joke or something, I rushed home and it was too late, I took about 15-20 mins to get home, he was giving her CPR but she was already passed when I got home
I guess I just keep being bothered by this, I just don't understand how my other dog may of killed her so quick ? It didn't feel like she had any broken bones or anything so I just don't know. I don't want to make excuses for my other dog because it may of just been a freak accident but I just don't know.
