 Please help
Sunday I lost my beautiful Bella. Little miss attitude would have been one yesterday. We miss her so much. One minute she was playing and the next she was gone. I was outside watering my plants with her beside me trying to bite the water as usual. She got wet so i told my daughter to get a towel and dry her off. About 30-45 minutes later i went inside. Bella was laying on the floor. She still had her head up but other than that she wasn't moving around. She had something sticky around her mouth so at first i thought she got into something. i looked around but no there wasn't anything. i realized later that it must has been phlegm? I called for my husband and we rushed her to the hospital. I kept talking to her and she would open her eyes. At the hospital they said they had to put her on a respirator and then she became unresponsive. She died within an hour of getting there. I asked if maybe she had swallowed some water and they said "highly unlikely". they think maybe a defect like possibly congestive heart failure because it was so quick. i talked to her vet yesterday after she got the report and she said that bella's heart has always sounded good and her bloodwork when she was spayed was perfect. What happened to my baby? what could i have done? i keep going over it and over it.
The only other thing that happened recently was that she hurt her leg and since the vet was closed we took her to the same hospital. this was about 3 weeks ago. they gave her a shot of rimadyl and a rx. now i'm reading on here that rimadyl isn't good. but this wasn't liver and she hasn't had any for 2 weeks. i didn't even give her the whole rx. just for about 4 days. but if she did already have an undiagnosed heart problem?? I should have checked to see what they were giving her. Oh i miss my baby so much.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any similar experience?
I love you, Bella. forever. |
