Heartbroken
Sarah, my miniature dachshund, is gone.
She started getting sick, on saturday, but seemed ok, for the most part, so we nursed her, here at home, keeping a close eye on her. Yesterday morning she actually seemed better, for a very short time, and then she got worse. Much worse.
After a maddening battle with my vet's office (the same one that I used to work for), I finally had to take her in, to an emergency vet, but by then it was too late. They believe that she ate something that punctured her intestine, and she was in severe septic shock. The only thing to do, at that point, was euthanasia.
She was just shy of her 5th birthday, and had been such a healthy dog, all of her life, this was so startling, and FAST. I just cannot believe that she's gone. I miss her so much.
