We witnessed my Chihuahua that we had when I was a teenager living at home, suffer a heart attack in front of us....we grabbed him up, rushed to the vet, and this was way back in 1966....vet care is much more advanced than it was back then.....they attached him to a heart monitor the vet had acquired from a hospital, and started an IV, but that was really all they could do....and we had to put Shawn down.....he suffered another attack while there at the vet. It was a traumatic event that I will never forget. That was 50 years ago, and it is as clear in my mind's eye as if it were yesterday. I am so sorry you experienced this event....it is very hard to see this happening to something or someone you love and adore. |
