yotaman88210 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 This past saturday, I got a call from Jonni saying that our dog Ready (yes Ready is her name) wasnt feeling good. Jonni works at an animal hospital so we took her in. She was being extremely lethargic and her gums were very pale. Well, we took xrays to check for internal bleeding which was most likely the case since she had pale gums and NO energy. The xrays all looked normal except the area where the liver met the spleen. It seemed as if there was no distinction of the two organs.... Meaning there could be a mass, or one of the two organs was inflamed. This area is most likely where the internal bleeding was happening so we aspirated the area and sure enough the syringe filled with blood. At this point we had to make a quick decision to figure out if it was the liver or the spleen. If the spleen is the problem that can be removed and the dog would hopefully be ok... the liver, well not so much. This hospital did not have an ultrasound machine so I carried Ready to the car and we rushed to OSU Vet Hospital. She did not do well on the car ride and as I carried her in, she was basically dying in my arms. This was extremely painful for Jonni and I. Ive never had an animal I cared for so much just die in my arms like that. She started breathing slower and we finally got her to the back area where they put her to sleep painlessly. Ready was the best dog ever, she was so sweet and loving. I just hope she died as peacefully as possible. She will be missed. RIP READY :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman88210 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 thanks everyone. It is hard, but at least she had a good life while she was here. She was so damn spoiled. haha. I guess the only positive thing is there is more room in the bed now. Oh well. Time to rescue another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandova Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 poor baby, she's out of pain now. I can understand how it breaks your heart to have an animal look at you in pain. You guys did what you could to help her. Sorry that she passed away like that. She looked like a good friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Lost a good, smart one a couple years ago. Hand dug a 5 foot deep x 4 foot wide x 5 foot long grave in solid clay on an 85 degree day in july for a 100# mutt. Couldnt see what I was doing the whole time through the sweat and tears. Now I have a retarded lab. It gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
