His surgery was Tuesday, vet called Tuesday afternoon said he did really good and if he continued he would be able to come home a day early. Then Wednesday morning (three days ago), surgeon called and started out saying, "Well, Hootie had a rough morning. He stopped breathing so Dr Green worked on him, revived and stabilized him. Then about 30 minutes later be began having trouble breathing again and although they worked on him, he never began breathing again and then his heart stopped. He died Wednesday morning". So it is now my FIRM belief that I will NEVER under ANY circumstance have any dog taken in and talked into surgery. I will simply let natures take it's course. I am now on Xanax and when they run out I am constantly crying. Hootie is buried by my back porch so I can look out at his tiny grave any time. I just pray that this pain will end soon and that NOBODY EVER has to go through what My little Hootie baby and I have!!! |
I am so very sorry for your lose of Hootie. It sounds like you tried to do the very best for him. Please know that Hootie is now in a much better place and that you were a very good mommy and did what you felt was the best for him. If you would like to talk I will listen~please PM me anything. My heart is breaking for you and your lose of Hootie
