Someone please help me
 

10days ago I lost my 10 1/2 year old Yorkie. I posted on a blog on this site but I am not sure how this works and I have not heard back from anyone yet, so I thought I would send a "new thread" since I am not that tech savvy. Anyway, in a nutshell, my baby had a bacterial infection, bad, but in the morning vet said hydration and antibiotic and he would be better next day. Well he passed that same night and I have beenDEVESTATED and can't seem to function.

I had the vet do an autopsy desperately looking for answers. They found he had an enlarged gallbladder and liver. But no DEFINITIVE cause of death. I had the option to send his precious body to CSU for a full necropsy but I decided against it. The thought of him being far and for an unknown amount of tie was too much to bear. I choose to have him cremated and want him to just rest in peace.

The vet has been his vet for four years and was just as crushed, not expecting the turn of events.

Has anyone ever had a similar situation?

Please help me, I am hurting so bad and am I despair.

Oh dear, I am so very, very sorry to hear of your baby's tragic and unexpected passing :(. How heartbreaking. You must be in so much pain, feel shocked, and I know you just want that little baby back in your arms. Try, if you can, to remember what a beautiful life you gave him, how happy he was, and what a great Momma you were to him. He would want you to try to remember the good and the love. Bless you during this time of loss and healing. My heart really goes out to you. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry to read that you have lost your baby and under such confusing circumstances. I so understand you wanting to keep your sweet baby close. I am sorry I cannot offer any advice just support and hugs to you during such a difficult time. Bless the new Yorkie angel and comfort the family.

I am so sorry you lost your precious baby. I can understand how devastating it is to not have answers why it happened. Your baby knew how much he was loved and he was blessed to have you in his life. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing this. Hugs.

Thank you so much for responding. At least I don't feel alone!

Thank you so much for caring. I don't feel so alone.

I am so sorry for your lost.

What a terrible thing to have happened. I'm so sorry. It is awful not knowing what caused this. I hope his little box of ashes brings some comfort to you. My Gina's ashes sits atop my mantel and I see her everyday.

I have no info for you but wanted to say that I am so very sorry for youI !! I will be praying that God will easy the pain you are feeling right now.

So sorry for your loss. Seems we never have them in our lives long enough.

Hugs and prayers :lovewings

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know all too well how painful it is to lose a beloved pup, especially so suddenly.

It has been almost a year since I lost my 6 yr old Meika, she passed within an hour of encountering a poisonous toad. My heart is still broken, and I still have days of crying, although time has brought some healing.

I'm sending warm thoughts and prayers that you will, in due time, find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of him in the 10 1/2 years you shared.

I am so very sorry for your loss:love:

I'm so sorry for the unexpected loss of your precious yorkie. I understand how painful this can be. I too unexpectedly lost one of my beloved babies. In my case the vet said he was alright, but that couldn't have been further from the truth, later that night he was rushed to an emergency vet....they weren't able to save him and he passed. I was angry, devastated and confused all at the same time.

I had a necropsy done because I had to know what happened....why this happened......I just needed answers as to why I lost my pup..... The next day I did receive an answer, but it didn't provide me with the answers I had hoped to hear to absolve me from the guilt I was feeling. The guilt that maybe I could have prevented this. It just made me angry and full of more questions. Sometimes having the "why 's" answered won't bring the peace we're seeking.

I've cried more tears than I thought I was capable of crying when I lost my yorkie; my friend. When we love this hard and suffer the loss of our pet, the grief process is a painful, inevitable, unavoidable, process. Accept it, embrace it, and allow it to take its course, it's a testament to the power of love you had for your companion. I had to come to the conclusion that not
everything is in our control. We might like to think it is, hope that it is, but there are times it simply isn't. ....I hope in time you can think of your pup without hurting, I wish you the best ....((hugs)))

I am so sorry for your terrible loss. We know you were the best momma and will grieve terribly for your precious Yorkie.

If you never have, google RAINBOW BRIDGE. Your baby is waiting there for you. (((((((hugs)))))))

just make sure you lots of kleenex with you when you google this

I am so sorry.

I think it's safe to say that all members here thinks of their furbutts nothing less of their own child(ren). So you can definitely come here for support...

I'm also so sorry for your loss... I think with time, you'll start to heal and hopefully, you'll be able to have room for another furry child to love.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your little one.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you so much for reaching out
 

Thank you for your heartfelt response. I am so sorry for your loss also, believe me, it sounds like what happened to me. Having to send his little body off to Colorado State University for a full necropsy was something I just didn't have the strength to do. I wondered if he would sit in a shelf, get misplaced etc. I feel like I can hardly breathe at times, the pain is so intense. I guess driving myself nuts with the what if's and why's is draining me to nothing. Talking with others does help. I am so grateful to all of you who have taken precious time out of your lives to respond in,ind to strangers. My heart felt warm for this first time in over a week reading all these incredible responses. Thank you to each of you.

Thank you from my heart
 

I apologize, but being unsure how to use this site, I will try agains to post a reply. Thank you so much to each and every me of you who took time out of your busy lives to reach out. I actually looked forward to seeing the messages when I got home.

I too thought about having the full necropsy done but couldn't bear the thought of my baby going to the University and possibly being misplaced, etc. the why's and what if's were driving me to the brink. I appreciate to hear that sometimes getting an answer doesn't always solve your feelings.

I know it has only been 10 days but it seems so dark and black and I hope I can get out of this and function normal again soon.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you,.

I am so sorry for the loss of you furbaby.

Heartache
 

I am terribly sorry for your loss & I know the confusion you are feeling. I too lost my yorkie a little over a year ago to a sudden illness. She had NME & I lost her just shy of 4 years. I did know what she had & what she died from & truthfully it did nothing to make me feel better. So I agree with the other post "some things we just have no control over." I was so devastated I went on petloss.com & they helped me through it. I will always miss her but that stabbing pain lessens with time. I wish you peace & healing. Bobbie Jo & Layla too.

I'm so sorry for your loss.:cry: I lost my boy 6 months ago this month, and I still miss him every day but it does get a little easier with time. My thoughts are with you.

I am very sorry for your loss of your precious boy. Praying that memories of happy times with him will bring you comfort in time.

This is a community that understands your pain. I hope you will feel free to come here and share more about your boy when you feel up to it.

Thank you
 

Thank you so much for taking a few minutes out of your busy life to reply to a stranger.

Your words brought me some comfort and it is helping to pass a few more minutes without crying.

Thank you from my heart.

You are surrounded by friends here who know the love that Yorkies bring to a family. They truly are our babies and losing one is devastating, especially when it is so quickly and when your questions go unanswered. I cannot begin to imagine what these 10 days have been like for you, but you have to know you did everything you could. The vet perhaps underestimated the extent of the infection, or maybe at your puppy's age, there were other problems (like kidney or liver function issues) that added to his problems. Sometimes they have troubles you don't expect. I took my 15 year old to have an ultrasound on his pancreas last week and they discovered prostate cancer and he has had no symptoms. So you never are quite sure if there were other issues that might have played a part in all this. Your fur baby knew how much he was loved. You may never get the answers as to "why" he died. And even if you do, it may not give you the peace you are looking for. Mostly I think you just miss him so deeply you want him back...and again, I am SO VERY sorry for your loss. Believe me, I experiencing a lot of the same emotions right now not knowing what is going to happen with my little guy so I can kind of relate. Please let us know how you're doing. We care about you.

Oh, my heart aches for you. It's so difficult to move on from this crushing pain. I don't have any answers for you, but I lost my Shelby suddenly right after getting my hopes up too. We love these little creatures so much, losing them is the worst pain one can endure. I wish I could tell you how to ease the pain. Allow yourself time to grieve, be kind to yourself, take a trip, do something different. It helps a little.

I admire you for trying to find answers. I am sorry, you still have questions but how wonderful that you cared enough to try. What a lucky little dog, to be loved so much I hope someday you treat another sweet Yorkie to life with you. I know it will take time but it does help. I cried every single day, sometimes hysterically, until the day I got my Ali. She saved me. I could never replace Shelby, I wasn't trying.

Big hug, know we all care very very much.

I am so sorry for your loss. I experienced a sudden loss of a very young furbaby about 6 years ago and I still don't think I've dealt with it fully. I hope happy memories can help you through this tough time, it's obvious that you loved your precious boy very much and he had a wonderful home.

((virtual hugs)) from another stranger. I am so very sorry for your loss. We form such close bonds with our furry little companions and their loss is felt just as deeply as with any other death. My deepest sympathies xx
