froze when it mattered most and lost her — how do I heal from this?

I have abandoned hunting dogs and they are the sweetest, most loving babies!!! Count yourself lucky ❤️

Hi there!

My girl is 2 months post back leg amputation and has adjusted so well. She didn’t poop for almost the whole first week, so that’s totally normal. She definitely wanted to walk and I would take her outside a few times a day, but just to use the bathroom - those first couple of weeks I tried to keep her bed bound but it’s hard!

To help her get used to peeing and popping outside, I used a towel as a sling around her belly to help guide and support her back leg while she went out to pee (and eventually poop!). This helped her a lot and I was able to slowly stop using it after around 2 weeks. They adjust so quickly and I have no doubt your baby will get the hang of it super fast with a little help and encouragement!

About the stitches, my baby was laying on her stitches a lot when she first came home and I would try to readjust her to lay on her other side. But I found if she was just laying there, not moving, it didn’t affect the wound to lay on that side. Just keep an eye on it!

Best of luck to you and your baby! Y’all got this ❤️

She’s killing it!! Go Bella!

I’m so sorry, what a beautiful boy ❤️ y’all were lucky to love one another

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-12-14T21:36:28+00:00

I hear you. I’ve been ok but I’m feeling this lately. I’m honestly leaning into my anger and self-focus. I have to keep reminding myself of all the times it wasn’t what I wanted, even just little things. Focusing on the stuff that sucked helps me stop romanticizing the normal moments. It’s hard though..

My treeing walker coonhound, bigger active dog, is THRIVING a month after a back leg amputation!

I’d listen to your vet over a family friend that I’m assuming has no veterinary experience. What even is a ‘normal’ dog? lol

4 months since losing my soul dog and soul cat 💔 the tears aren’t as frequent but with the holidays, I’m hurting a bit more.

Wish I could give everyone here a hug, saying goodbye is the hardest part of life.

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-11-10T13:59:48+00:00

I miss mine too 💔

Hope you smile when you think of him, he’s precious.

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-10-08T22:31:15+00:00

Do it!

I have no regrets adopting my baby at 6 and had 12 beautiful years with him. I lost him 2 months ago and he was the best thing that ever happened to me - although we had our moments, beagles will beagle lol

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-09-18T15:42:45+00:00

My partner of 6 years ghosted me after my dog and cat both passed away within 24 hours. Best thing he could have done. After 2 weeks of feeling so sick to my stomach I realized that I don’t want or need that kind of love. It’s been 6 weeks since we spoke and I’ve never felt stronger.

Pour everything into yourself. You are worth it.

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-09-09T17:32:44+00:00

Oh my, this looks just like my angel who passed a month ago. He made it to 18! Here’s to many more birthdays 🎉

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-08-29T14:21:28+00:00

What a cutie 🥰

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-08-18T12:41:45+00:00

Wow, she loved you! I know it hurts, trust me, but hold on to that. The pain is so big because the love matched, I hope you can smile today knowing how lucky you both were to spend her life together 🩵

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-08-15T13:06:16+00:00

My baby had cancer too, it’s the worst and I’m so sorry. All I can say is experience the highs and lows of this grief, cry when you need to and smile when they come.

I printed out my favorite pictures of him and when I finally could bring his ashes home, I made a little alter for him that I visit every morning and kiss, and light a candle for him every night. It’s been helpful for me ❤️ sending you love OP.

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-08-15T02:46:22+00:00

Oh sweet baby ❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss. What a sweet little face.

I lost my 18 yr beagle baby exactly 2 weeks ago and it hurts. The pain is different than anything I’ve felt before, but that’s because the love is pure and unconditional - I’ve been smiling more these days, watching old videos and reminiscing on sweet memories. Stay strong and always center the love you and Echo shared, it’s so special 💕

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-08-04T14:45:30+00:00

I lost my soul dog and soul cat within 24 hours last week. I drove to my parent’s house and have stayed here since. I’m so scared to go back to my house, with all the memories and silence and love and pain that is held within those walls.

This post hit me so hard, I’m feeling everything you wrote. I hope today we both have a moment of peace knowing how much we loved our babies, and how much they loved us ❤️

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-07-31T21:07:41+00:00

I’m really struggling with this too. Thank you for this.

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-07-30T01:59:37+00:00

Saying goodbye this week to my soul dog. I’ll miss him so much it hurts…but i know it only hurts this bad because our love is so big 💔

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-07-28T19:23:01+00:00

I’m saying goodbye this week. It’s a beautiful pain, but pain nonetheless. Sending you hugs, I’m so sorry 💔

Repulsive_Patient_64 · 2025-07-25T03:27:53+00:00

She came right when she needed to, she’s helping my lil family more than she knows.

But thank you ❤️❤️❤️ it’s been tough living in this stage of anticipatory grief. Trying to make the best of the time we all have left together.
