Hello everyone. It is almost 2am and I am heading to bed after I post. I have to pick away at catching up. I chose to take the boarding dogs for their spa days (cheetara was in for spay and Harper was with foster). It cheered me up to be with them and if I needed a cry they cry with me. If I needed a kiss they kiss me. I am simply devastated. Max was 18+ and while I hated making that decision he could not walk yesterday and after coming home and comparing pics of him a year ago I knew it was the right thing. Liz, well, I expected to have to pts months ago and then the EPI suggestion came up and she gained. She was 35 lbs today. it was working. She has never seized before. My son thought she was playing and went to play with her. She was seizing and never really stopped. I am a certified brain injury specialist and worked as a Psych RN with TBIs. I knew when we arrived at the vet there was little to be done. But we were gonna go for it. I videotaped because I thought this is just incredulous! Then I thought, people might think I am lying. SO I taped a few secs. She continued on at the vet thru the IV placement and 3 injections of valium. Nada. She slowed very little on the third and then started flailing again. It broke my heart. The vet asked what I was thinking and I said to her I think she is going to seize to death or we are going to help her. She said that was the truth and we administered a paralytic which paralyzed her and I was able to grab a few seconds of calm, rub her muzzle and tell her we loved her so. However, the paralytic (think Michael Jackson- propophol) paralyzes everything including the lungs so we had to then adminster the final injection. She was gone. The vet helped tucked her tongue in and make her presentable for a pic for my son who could not come in. I thought he may need to see it someday. Then I thought I would share. Liz is at peace, she knew love and we are better for having loved her. We are better for deciding that having a dog aggressive dog in a home with other dogs COULD work. We appreciate the support. I am holding adoption events both days this weekend. Gotta keep the mind busy! To her prior owner- you hacked her ears, you fought her, you bred her and when she got pyometra you threw her away like trash. Your a selfish, cold hearted bastard and I hope you rot in hell. She deserved a better beginning and a better end. I hate you for hurting her and treating her like she was less than a living being. I believe in Karma. I only wish I got to see yours.
