I am so very sorry about your loss! To me what you are going through is normal. I lost Jingle suddenly with no time to prepare myself and I was devastated just like you. I wasn't able to eat, sleep or think. I didn't leave the house for a week, it is honestly one of the hardest things I have experienced. Holly, my poodle, had a terrible time missing her little buddy, her grief was heart wrenching to watch. Do not expect too much of yourself or your little boy too quickly. Take your time to heal and grieve. I thought I was loosing my mind, I would think I would hear Jingle bark, thought I seen him out of the corner of my eye, this happened several times. I was overwhelmed with it all, it felt like more than I could take. Personally I think how you are feeling is completely normal, you had a great loss of a precious little girl and that's not easy. Hugs and prayers to you in the coming days and weeks ahead. RIP Sweet little girl!

Thanks everyone, the first few days were the worst thing I'd ever gone through, the pain was so intense I felt like I was going crazy.I still can't stop crying though, I miss her so much.her brother Milo keeps barking and looking for her, he starting sleeping in the spots she use to lay. And to the person who posted about their dog breathing bad with purple gums, please get her some tests, meesha didn't need any anesthetic to get X-rays, she was good for them and luckily they all showed her collapse to get a diagnosis , when meesha first started showing signs it was just s bit of snorting on walks ,then as it progressed a bit of raspy breathing, to episodes where she would have to catch her breath, she never had the goose honk noises until the last few months. But the sooner you get your Yorkie diagnosed the better, before she was diagnosed I was walking her and she was fat, cutting back on exercise and weight loss are very important. If she's looking at you like that it's because she is uncomfortable, please find a vet to diagnose her in the least intrusive way. Collapsed treachea is the worst thing I've ever had to deal with, hopefully in the future they find a real cure, I read as many articles and study's as I could about the stenting surgery and I didn't like the odds, I chose to keep her medicated, calm, cool, skinnier,etc , she wasn't able to live like she did before.she was diagnosed 2014 in the summer I think, but she started with snorting after she got spayed, part of me wonders if it wasn't genetic, if maybe they used a tube too big or hit the trenchea wall while under anesthetic. I guess I'll never know.

It took me so long to respond to this post because I watch my Brandi (RIP) suffer her last day as well. It brought back so many memories of my own traumatic experience with my Brandi. We made it to the emergency vet but she was in shock by the time we got there. I made the painful decision to put her down. Your post had me in tears as I know how traumatic it is to watch them in so much pain and not be able to or have enough time to alleviate their pain. She passed away almost 3 years ago and I still beat myself up because I feel I let her suffered longer than she needed too. I have asked her forgiveness and hope that she is over the rainbow bridge living a life free of pain and suffering. She is there along with my other pets waiting for me to join them.


The pain does subside and your pain will be replace by warm smiles every time you think of your little one. It does take time but just know that your little one is in a much better place. From what I understand, pet psychics have said animals do not view death the way humans do. For them death is not an ending. We are here for you.

I am heartbroken for your loss. I will pray for emotional peace for you and little brother.

She's at the bridge, knowing you did absolutely everything you could for her and even eased her little soul at the end.

I am very sorry for your loss of Meesha. My heart goes out to you and Milo.

Rest in peace, little one.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is so heartbreaking. I'm praying for you and Milo.

Thanks again everyone, and sorry to everyone who went through this too,i hope they are all at rainbow bridge waiting for us one day. yavenay I'm sorry you went through a similar experience, its sometimes hard to know when the time is right, how much she played the night before and ate so much, she had such a good healthy day, I didn't expect that to happen the next morning, sometimes it's just hard to know when it's time. I think sometimes they are holding on for just a little more time the same as we are.

Accidently posted the same message twice somehow, just erased this one

I made a YouTube channel 4 years ago with 1 video of meesha at 12 weeks having hiccups , I couldn't sleep last night so I added a few videos I had of her and Milo being silly, I took lots of photos and videos, I'm so glad I have them now https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCi5gkv1gzRitYWqUVybY-sQ

Video is absolutely adorable, lazy dog tug of war just too funny. Beautiful memories. (((hugs)))

Just seeing this .. I am so sorry to hear this:( Sending big hugs your way!

SO sorry to hear of your loss! Thanks for posting, as there are others that may read your post and learn that losing a pet is just the same as loosing a child. These special 'babies' are such a part of our lives, that when they go, especially quickly likes yours, it is totally devastating and life will never be the same w/out them. This is for a good reason - they are SO special! My heart breaks for you too!
Like another posted, let yourself grieve, and no one grieves the same, and take the time to love your other Yorkie and support him through his grieving. You both are in good hands! Again, sorry for your loss. Time is a good healer. Although you can't see/feel that now, things will get better as the days go by. Of course, you will never forget Meesha! NO one can take away the precious memories of the antics and sweet memories of her. Hugs!!

I just saw this, and what a sad story! I know that this is where I came when we lost our sweet Millie in November. I just knew this group would understand, and their comfort was a sweet balm for my aching heart. I trust that this has been true for you as well.

Please do not question whether you should have "spared" her those last few minutes. You clearly loved her and made the decisions that were in her best interest.

Blessings to you as you deal with the grief that accompanies such loss.

im so sorry for your lost...I can't imagine what you are going through. I just got my bella and i know how it feels to love something so much and then have to watch them suffer is so painful. I completely understand how you are feeling and you are in my prayers.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I teared up just reading that. I can't imagine your pain right now. This is my worse fear, that my Jake will get this. He used to cough and I thought it was tracheal collapse, it turned out to be stomach issues, but I'm still worried as it is so common in Yorkies.

My Vet told me that there's nothing they (vets) can actually do unless you get them there right at the time of the actual attack. I'm sure your little one appreciates the extra time you gave her to live even though she went thru a bad attack at the end. I know that must have been hard to watch. I had a Shih Tzu one who started having seizures right before he passed, it was horrible.

Sending prayers to you and Milo.
RIP Meesha.
