| RIP my blittle surfer boy It is with a HEAVY heavy heart that I write the words I never thought would come from my mouth. My sweet Sunnie is gone. I will probably never know what took him from me at such a young age. We suspect it is from a toxic doseage or an allergy from flea medications. You see in the California desert we have no fleas... nor heartworm... but since we would be travelling the country in our motorhome, I did what a responsible pet owner does.... I had them all tested for heartworm and prescribed both heartworm and flea medication. During our travels, all 5 of my yorkies were exposed to a home infested with fleas and within 2 hours they were infested themselves. So I did again what a responsible pet owner does and went a pet supply for flea shampoo and spray for thier bedding, etc. All five were treated with what was recommended to me as being safe for them. For whatever reason, Sunnie most likely had some kind of reaction to the medication. We may never know for sure exactly why or even IF it was the medication. All we know is that one minute he was fine and the next he was barely breathing, pure white gums and tongue, dull lifeless eyes. I rushed him to an ER vet in Texas where we had just arrived to visit my son. He was almost gone by the time we arrived. The vet put him on IV fluids and wanted to keep him overnight. After making sure there would be someone there all night, we agreed to let them keep him. We stayed with him until they assured us that he would be fine. By the time we left for the night his gums were nice and pink again and he was alert and aware of his surroundings. They told us we could pick him up at 7 am. We arrived at 6:30 am only to be told that he had just passed. They don't know why.. maybe the medication, maybe not.. bloodwork was done, but nothing jumped out at them. Thank God for Vicki (Bleu Boy Barber) to offer a safe place for Sunnie to rest. I just cannot believe my baby is gone. WHY Sunnie?? OMG.. he loved EVERYONE! He was the sweetest boy ever. My heart hurts so much. Sunnie, my little surfer boy, was born November 22, 2004. His AKC name was Studley Sunnie Boy, but I fondly called him my surfer boy because of his beautiful flowing blonde hair. He was buried with his teddy bear that he has slept with every single night since I have owned him. Sunnie, Mommy loves you and I don't know how life can go on without you in my life. I will miss your sweet kisses and looking in your beautiful brown eyes. RIP my little man. I love you. My beautiful Sunnie

| I am so sorry to hear this, I can relate to you so well, I too am not 100% sure what took my baby away from me almost 3 weeks ago. Gone too soon. But you know God puts them here for us to love and them love us back, even if it was for a short while I am sure Sunnie should you so much love and taught you so much that he will have an everlasting effect on your life. I still cry, and I am so deeply sad still and miss my baby so much, I just wish things were more fair in life but I guess everything happens for a reason. God bless you and RIP Sunnie you are with all the angels now! |
