know how you feel
Hello
I am new here and all. So sorry for your loss. I think I am going through the same thing you are. Last December I got a black lab and named her Ladybird. My boyfriend I brought her to get all of her shots and had her fixed and all that stuff and I recently lost her. I live out on the pacific ocean, right across the street from the beach and I would let my two dogs play out whenever they wanted. About 3 weeks ago, my LB started sleeping all the time and laying around the house like she was in a depression. Being young and all, I thought maybe she was just hitting a growth spurt. She started puking on a friday and stopped eating. She began just throwing up water. With no vets being open on weekends, we brought her in first thing monday morning. She had a bloody diarrhea, but it was like blood and water. That happened even outside the vets office. The didnt have any test kits to run on her so we rushed to the next hospital an hour away. We got there and I think she started seizing. I was unsure because I've never seen it before. I held her head up beacuse she couldn't, and there she died in my arms. I feel so horrible, like I was a bad parent. This was my first puppy experience and I feel like I should never try again. I am only 20 and I did all I could for my baby, and I just couldnt do enough. I've been so hurt and lonely since shes been gone and I dont think it will ever pass by me. What hurts the most is that she was only 10 months old and already taken away from me. My Ladybird was just the best dog ever :'(
But, I really dont know why it happened. I read about liver disease and it sounded like it could have been that. or, something that she just couldnt pass through. I wish they could talk to us and tell whats going on...
