Deadly Dental Visit, Is this Uncommon Options

[kimkalli]

I lost my little pug, Kalli, of 8 years on 7/2/2005. I took her in to have her teeth cleaned (2 Vets told me it would help her live longer). When she awoke, they told me she was vomiting, having diahrea, fever, possible infection, and was having bloody vaginal discharge (she was fixed). I don't know what went wrong. She has been put under before with only mild vomiting. Turns out my attempt to lengthen her life, killed her. I feel so guilty. If only I hadn't taken her. Who cares that she had tarter and her breath stunk. I loved this dog so much we had 2 vets, if I didn't like what one said, I would take her to the other for a second opinion. It's only been 3 days and I can't imagine another 3 days without her smiling face. She was our entertainer, best friend, companion, and my shadow. You could never have a bad day with her, she would just instantly make you smile when you would walk in the door. She slept with me, we shared a pillow. It's hard to open my eyes in the morning because I know her little face will not be there staring back at me. I am crying before my feet ever hit the floor in the morning. I could really use some support right now.

Hi Kim
I wish there were some words that I could put in this post that would stop or alleviate some of your pain. I lost my lil baby kitten, Caden very early Sunday morning. I only had her for one very short week, but its still so hard. I have other animals, too. I have 2 dogs (one is 5 yrs old, the other 2 1/2) and two cats (one is 11 and the other is 2) and I have many cats outside that I feed and try to take care of. Caden was very special to me instantly. She was so fragile and small and she needed me so much. She needed me to take care of her. I tried, and she tried as well. Her little body was just not strong enough. I had to face the horrible decision of putting her down. Its so very hard with any animal, but with a tiny little baby kitten, only about 5 weeks old, you feel like the most God awful soul in the world.
You were trying to do right by your little Kalli. The vet told you that there was something you could do to keep your baby healthy and to live longer, you couldnt have possibly known this was going to happen. You had 2 vets for her, sweetie. This shows how much you loved the little girl. Believe me, she knew it. You have to believe it too. I know, its much easier to hear or read the words, because you have this aching pain in your chest right now. It will get easier. My heart still aches for you, though.
We will get through these horrible losses together over time. Everybody on this site is wonferful and Im sure you will get a lot more helpful advise and comforting words.
Thinking of you, with many hugs...
