"How Could This Happen To Me?"
I don't want my pooch to die but things haven't been looking good for the past few days...she hasn't eaten in about two days and whenever we manage to force her she throws it all up later anyway...I drove out to Oradell Animal Hospital this evening and pick up a bag of fluids, needles, and some Nutrical (a vitamin)...I started my munchkin on an IV drip so she won't dehydrate and the Nutrical is supposedly very high in calories so giving her a spoonful a day will help if she's not eating much...she's so skinny now, only maybe 9 lbs...normally she weighed around 15 or so...*sigh*...this is so horrible to have to deal with, it's unreal...we lost a dog not too long ago and it was hell...I do not want to go through that kinda hell again...but this time it's worse because Sammy has always been mine, I'm the mommy and it hurts like hell to have to poke her with needles and to see her not being able to walk anymore...there's absolutely nothing that I wouldn't do to try and make her better at this point...my mom and I discussed bringing her to a doggie neurologist, which our vet mentioned might be a good thing to do...I don't know...this hurts to the point where crying just doesn't do it justice...I always used to joke with my family about how the day that something happens to Sammy is the day that I will be taken away by the men in white coats and locked in a padded room...I love my dog indescribably...I don't want her to die.
