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.

I am so sorry that this has happened to you and your treasured babe ~ I always hold my breath when sending my cats for dental ~ one thing that my Vet does is a complete blood work up about 2 weeks prior so we can see any issues that may be possible red flags ~ but I know that nothing is sure in this world and when I lost my Jader to cancer in 99 it was totally out of left field he had been treated successfully for mega colon and later for hyperthyroid ~ I was devestated ~ and never have gotten over it ~ I don't see how they could have missed it to this day ~ and even in Amber's case with the end stage CRF she was fine one minute and the next in crash mode ~ and gone 2 days later ~ It hurts so much ~ yet I would not trade one second ~ and know in my heart that they were loved and cared for like princes and princesses ~ my sweet babes ~ I know you felt the same and see your animal babies in the same light ~ I burn a memory candle for our fallen companions and also to commemorate those who are still suffering ~ from illness and/or abuse ~ My prayers go out to all who care and love and have hope for animals ~ May the Blessings of Peace Be With You and May you be held in the hollow of His hand ~ In Love and Peace and an End to Suffering ~ May you find Comfort ~ Sincerely, Kathryn
