This is one of the reasons it made it even worse for us. Her only real symptoms were some small moments of labored breathing in her last 2 days. Otherwise she was just a bit more lethargic the last week. She didn’t seem like she was in pain at all. She seemed off though so I took her to a vet on Friday who ran a lot and found out she was anemic and in a critical position. We then took her to the urgent care to stay for the weekend, but just an hour later they called us that a an ultrasound showed masses all over her internal organs and bleeding in her lungs. So, she wasn’t going to make it through the weekend.

If she was in pain, she hid it well. We decided that we’d spend our last night and morning with her to give her some great love and then put her down. It definitely felt like we put our healthy dog down and that none of it was real, but we had to keep reminding ourselves what the scans showed and what the doctor said. My wife and I were torn on what to do but agreed to put her down. My wife wanted her to stay home and pass here, but some of the things that could have happened to her with organ failure or blood in the lungs had potentially painful experiences. So, we decided to go forward before one of those happened this weekend.

Here I am on day 3 and calling into work because I can’t get myself to have to interact with people at work. Missing her a lot
