Open Question: My Dog just Died from Heart Failure , I can’t deal with it?
My Dog Nino , a mixed chiwawa / Miniature pincher , of 9 years has pass away this past saturday 12/27 the same day we were supposed to put him to sleep, instead he died at home before we got a chance to leave for our 2:45pm appointment. He was diagnosed with heart murmur in Nov, and we were told he has heart disease and would give us medicine to treat it.
He began to get build up liquid in his stomach which made him look very fat. He started to change as we did not see the same dog anymore, always un happy, not barking and reacting the same anymore. I knew his time was coming as the disease progressed and gotten worst when the doctor told us they will give us Digoxin to help his heart beat better. Unfortunately, it made it worst, as his belly still had fluid which made him uncomfortable. On saturday 12/27 , he was already very thin , the liquid nearly left his body finally, but he looks so skinny and ill, you can see the bones on his ribs, and his face was so thin and sick looking. I would call him, he would Look my way, only stare above my head at the celling, as if he were looking t something. At this moment, while looking up, he looked so coked out or drugged up, Im not sure if he was in pain, or just fading away slower, or perhaps just in a state of unconsciousness. I told my mother we must schedule the appointment right away to put him down, as we could no longer see him like this. The appointment was made for 2:45pm.
I was in another city at around 2pm, and called my mother to tell her please wait for me, I would like to be present as well. She waited, so we missed the 2:45pm appointment. By 3pm, I was 10 min away from my mother house stuck in traffic, when she called me crying “I think nino is gone” , his heart stopped and no response. It was like a ton of bricks just fell on my stomach at that moment. Supposedly when my mother and father were watching tv, the dog was there in his small bed also, when he suddenly collapsed. They picked him up, and his heart was slowly stopping as he started to urinate on my father and let out liquid from his mouth.
When I got to the house, he was in a box wrapped in his brown blanket, still wearing his red sweater. We buried him in the backyard and made stone grave for him . I am so heart broken over this situation, I really don’t know how to deal with this pain, as Im not sure if its the death the keeps hunting me, or the fact we could of put him to sleep sooner than rather let him get thinner and Bonny, resulting in him collapsing.
