I would have sold my car to keep her alive but the vet was like even if you do there is not even a 50 to 60 percent chance.

I hope this answer because i really don't have anything else. Everyday fells worse than the last. I feel like im losing my mind no food wont stay down. I feel like Im having a nervous breakdown! Then i have a 5 year old to comfort as well

Please forgive me if I gave the impression that you didn't do everything that you could to save her. I was just trying to understand about the disease and the process. I am so sorry that you had to go through that and I know you did everything you felt was in her best interest. Again, I am sorry if I upset you. That was not my intention. My prayers are with you and hope your broken heart will heal someday.

So sorry for your loss

only2xnseya · 02-28-2011, 11:47 AM

Sarah before i go i just wanted to let you know you did not upset me and im sorry if my passion felt like that. i really don't have anymore to add because believe me im asking the same questions you are. I spoke with her vet today and she stated this is not even hereditary. it is what they call disease magic. It comes out of no where and it just reacts deadly.

My vet stated if she had to put it in human terms. Its like being healthy on friday and by saturday your doctor stating you have 6 months to live with little to do for treatment. I know you are just trying to understand like me so im never upset and there is no harm in asking.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT

See I guess here's where I get confused once again...in one post you tell me....EVEN IF SHE GOT THE TRANSFUSION it didn't look good.
Then you told Sara..:

So you did have them give her a transfusion? And it failed her? Or did you opt to not try?

Then you say " the vet was like even if you do there is not even a 50 to 60 percent chance." ...(I"m guessing survival rate).....So then she didn't get the transfusion?

I guess your posts conflict...so I'm just trying to understand exactly what did or didn't happen...And if she had possibly 6 months to live...why pts immediately? Was she suffering? Or comatose? that made you decide no treatment...and pts was better for her?

I really am sincerely sorry for your loss...I'm just confused by the details I suppose.

elemtchr99 · 02-28-2011, 12:13 PM

OMG!!! I am just now reading this. I am sooo sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I know there are no words I can say that will make you feel any better.

llebar · 02-28-2011, 12:19 PM

I'm so sorry! My dog growing up passed away from this...it broke my heart. I'm sorry I understand your pain! Hang in there!

paisley2010 · 02-28-2011, 12:31 PM

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little Brooklyn. That is such a hard thing to understand. One day they are great and can go down so quickly. My baby Jazz was so tiny (3lbs) and had so many health issues throughout her life. She would be on death's door and then bounce back. Her last bout was when she developed Lupus. My vet said that he had never seen it in dogs before in his 34yrs of practice. We tried all sorts of things. She spent the last 6 months of her life in front leg cast.
I was like you and thought I could never have another fur-baby. I did not want to go throught it again. I would not go home in the afternoon because I didnt want to walk into an empty house. But let me tell you something about getting a new baby. I began by looking at puppies and just seeing how I felt when I saw one. Then I decided that I had to try again. After I got my sweet Paisley I now know that my life will hopefully never be without another baby. She has brought such joy to me. Although she will never replace her sister, she is different and has such a different personality. I feel like the "lights are back on at my house". That is the only way for me to describe it.
Give yourself some time but dont close the door to loving another baby. Your sweet Brooklyn would not want it that way. Good luck!!! I will be praying for you.....leeann

I can't even imagine how horrible you must feel. I'm saying prayers for you and your family. I'm so glad the two of you shared some good hours before she passed. God Bless you. Try to remember all of the happy times you had with your precious pup.

Yorkiedaze · 02-28-2011, 12:48 PM

I found this Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia / Dogs Articles / Pet Articles / Televets.com after reading your post. I'd never heard of this before. How tragic! I am so very sorry this happen to you and your baby. Prayers are going out for you and your family.

Sammy Mommy · 02-28-2011, 12:49 PM

I'm so very sorry. Rest in Peace, Brooklynn.

cathys · 02-28-2011, 12:50 PM

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through, it was only a few weeks ago that we had to have our baby Mia pts. Time does help a little, but the loss of one so young never makes sense. I'll keep you and you family in my thoughts. Soon the good memmories will overtake the bad, soon you will smile when youpicyure her face, until then just know she is not hurting and is waiting for you. I hope you find some peace soon.

EarthAngel · 02-28-2011, 01:16 PM

I am sorry to hear of your dear Brooklynn's passing. I hope you and your family feel comforted in knowing we are praying for you all to one day have your hearts have less sadness and be filled with all good memories of her.

For Wabbit

The section when i talk about "even if you do there is not a 50 to 60 percent chance" is talking about the second blood transfusion. Not to mention the hospital bill was $1200 a day and that was not including the blood transfusion. Believe me when i said I did everything. Maybe you could read up on IMHA to understand more.

Even though she received the first blood transfusion her body destroy that in quickly and she was not responding to meds. Unless you have a dog that went through it. Its very hard to explain because its take them so quickly. Its extremely deadly depending on how severe. Brooklynn's was severe and the specialist still cant tell me why it happen!

Yorkieville200 · 03-02-2011, 08:42 PM

I am so very sorry for your loss.

We lost our precious, Sydney on the 28th, at 10:39 A.M.

So, I truly understand the pain you are going through.

Hugs,
Sheila
