So Sad!, Loss of my friend Options

[Victoria]

Hello all
I just lost my best friend on Sunday. He was just short of his 15th birthday. He had been sick for about 2 months. I tryed everything to help but nothing did. His name was J-dog, he was a very speical dog a Jack Russell. This is the hardest thing I've had to do. I'm having a really bad day today. I have two other dogs another JRT she is almost 13, and a Lab who is 13. What a crew! Both of my other dogs are joining me in my grief. I'm worried about my Lab he too is just hanging on to life by a thread. I don't know how I will deal with back to back grief like this. The Lab is my husbands dog, J-dog was mine and my other JRT is both of ours. She is having a hard time dealing with Jays death. I try not to cry around her, but it hard because she won't let me out of her sight. I quess I need some encouragement on how to deal with her. Gosh I miss my buddie so much....

I don't have the answer to your question. Maybe you could call your vet who is supervising all of this and ask. I know when my boy was sick, I would call my vet every so often and just leave a message that when they had a moment I wanted to bring them up to date on how my boy is doing and they would always call me and answer any questions on the phone. You might try that.

Other than that, I do a special person here..whose name is jackjackbojack. She is doing and has learned the same medical treatment you are doing. She understands needles and fluids. Unfortunately her computer has been down for about 10 days otherwise she is online everyday. Hopefully, she will be on soon again and I will direct her to your thread and question in case you haven't found an answer by then.

Take Care and really consider just making a phone call to your baby's vet...you don't have to do a vet visit to ask a question. I find vets are quite willing to help a person understand what is going on. Sometimes they have a simple answer to a question that brings a lot of relief. I have urged others to make such calls and have been told they were glad they did because the staff and vets were very helpful on the phone and they didn't realize this was available.
