...your pet dies and your vet isn't open? I mean say your pet dies on a Friday night and the vet won't be open untill Monday? Do you wrap him/her in a towel and put them in the refridgerator to retard the decomposition process? I know when people die lots of gases and human waste are released, but I don't know how long it takes those things to happen. The idea of having to keep a dead animal, a pet no less, in my apartment for a couple days is something that freaks me out but the possibility exists that it can happen. I know some on this site have just gone out back and dug a grave but I can't do that because I will not be staying here forever. I know this is somewhat morbid but it is a real concern I have. I can't put them in a trash bag because it's my pet, not trash, and I feel they should be handled with more dignity than that. So what do you if that happens?

I don't think I could put the body in anything to "store" it until I could get it to my vet. I'd spring for the cost of having an emergency vet keep her until my regular vet could take care of things. I probably wouldn't even be able to transport her to my regular vet after having been at the emergency vet because I don't think I could handle the sight of a dead AND frozen "baby puppy".
I'd find the money to pay for it even if I had to pan-handle for it. I'm in tears now just thinking about it... Tim -------------------- Angel Qorqui, A black headed Tri-Color Pembroke Welsh Corgi: 1 Aug 2003 - 2 Mar 2005
