I know how you are feeling. Sunday I took an 8 hour drive to rescue a little senior boy from a high kill shelter, he was due to be PTS. I had him home 2 days when we had to rush him to the hospital with what they thought might be a blockage, thankfully it turns out it was not and after 2 days of fluids and meds he got to come home. Still very sick but home. He is so very underweight, he is a skeleton with fur. Supposed to be 6.5 pounds approx, he sadly is only 4.6. We think he is between 13-15. He was severly neglected and horribly abused. The first thing my vet asked was "how is this dog still alive?"

He still needs a dental and neuter but we are going to get some weight on him and get him healty first, hopefully he can get thru this too

So very sorry for your loss
