I am so terribly sorry to read your heartbreaking post. It has brought tears to my eyes, as it must have been so hard to see her go that way. Rescueing her from a puppy farm is such a wonderful and kind thing to have done. You trusted your vet to find out the cause of her problems and you were let down. You cannot blame yourself for this - none of us are vets and so we naturally assume that they know what they are talking about, and we tend to trust them. So, thank you for sharing your story with us, as it must have been so difficult to do so, and it will help us all to remember NEVER to trust any vet 100% - they make errors and they miss things. If our pet is not improving and/or we feel any concern, then we MUST get a second opinion. However, in your case, things sound as though they were too far gone anyway, so don't beat yourselves up. You are obviously very caring loving owners and did all you could do to help her. Just remember the love and care you gave her after her horrible time in the puppy farm, must have made her very happy. She will be waiting for you on the other side, happy and well and looking forward for more of the cuddles and love you gave her while she was with you down here. Sending my heartfelt sympathy to you both. Rest in peace precious Sprinkle. |
