I'm so sorry this happened to your little baby just out of the blue. Poor little thing - at least it sounds as if it happened quickly with no time for suffering. I'm so sorry she is gone and the pain and loss with no answers are what you are left with. Losing a family member like this just out of the blue is such a shock that it's hard to wrap your mind around it for the longest time so give yourself time to get past the shock, the disbelief, then the grief, anger and sadness and hurt of loss. It will take you some time to get your grips so don't rush yourselves or be too hard on yourself or your seemingly numb brain for the next weeks and don't be afraid to grieve.

I hate to bring this up but I would question the circumstances of her sudden death. If she was a normal, healthy dog with CT, perhaps her condition escalated and proper medical attention not obtained for her in time, perhaps she fell off the table or suffered some blunt force trauma so perhaps a necropsy done by her vet might be considered and private talks with any employees away from the salon. At least you might know what caused this tragic, sudden death. The only thing that could make this worse is that it was abuse or negligence.

R.I.P., little Pebbles.

My heart aches for you... may Pebbles rest in peace.

I am so very sorry for the sudden lose of your sweet Pebbles

I'm very sorry for your loss! Yesterday I posted a link to an article about the causes of death of dogs at groomers. From the article: "Blunt-force trauma was responsible for the deaths of 31% of the animals, with a higher incidence of trauma to the head, characterized chiefly by fractures and nervous tissue lesions. In the other 69% of cases, the animals showed signs of stress, and died due to pulmonary edema and hemorrhage." For your own peace of mind, I hope you have an autopsy done to find out exactly what happened.

So sorry for your loss!!!

Lilah Charm · 03-26-2014, 07:11 PM

What a tragedy! I am so sorry to hear this. I advocate strongly for the autopsy so your family can heal with peace of mind. Warm hugs.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That's way too young. I agree with the others, for your own peace of mind, I'd have a necropsy done.

bonitalou · 03-26-2014, 08:12 PM

Oh my gosh, this had to be devastating news. I am SO sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.

Something doesnt seem right with this groomers story of what happened I would have a necropsy done

nanahas3 · 03-27-2014, 04:25 AM

I agree, it will also help closure to any feelings of blame you may harbor.

You poor lady, I can't imagine how I'd react to such a tragic event? Please accept my condolences and God bless Pebbles.

I am so very sorry, what a horribly sad tragedy.

Please have an autopsy done to rule out blunt force trauma, as you may not be getting the true/full story here.

My heart is breaking for you and your family. I can't imagine the pain and sense of loss. You will be in my prayers and thoughts.
