So Quick...my Baby Burnie Has Gone!, I need help!! Options

[Farrie]

Hi Everyone

So glad I found this site, where we can all relate. Our animals are not animals they are our family.

My girl, blue cattle dog Burnie. She was 15. We had her since day 1. She is my best friend, I love her so much.
She has always been an energetic loving healthy dog, pretty much was always like a puppy. Never anything ever wrong with her, until Friday night when she would not eat her dinner, she was stagering on her legs and breathing shallow. I immediately felt sick as I knew this was not her at all. We rushed her to the vet for an after hours callout. The vet checked her out and said it could be due to the really hot weather we have been having. So we brought her home, somewhat relieved. Hopefully she would be better by morning.
Early yesterday she was no better, if not worse, we rushed her back to the vet, the did tests and x rays to find she had a massive tumor in her stomach that had spread into her lungs. There was nothing they could do for her. We went to the vet and said our goodbye's I was holding her crying, not wanting to ever let her go. We all were will her when she was put to sleep.
All of this in less than 24 hours. We had a healthy happy dog one second and now she has gone.
I cannot stop crying, I can't eat and I havent slept yet. My baby has gone and theres nothing I can do. I want her back so much, I miss her so much!!!I have lost my best friend. I feel my heart and guts have just been torn out of me! I just can't stop the pain that I am feeling!
I just want to share this with people that understand and chat with them. As I know we feel the same about our beautiful little babies.

How very sad to read your story Farrie, there's not a person here who won't know what you're going through. It is devastating I know, by boy Ulriich went suddenly too, he was only a young boy and the pain was indescribable. I so understand you when you say you can't eat or sleep because that is how I was for two weeks and the crying never stopped. After two weeks of not eating or sleeping I had to seek professional help. It was only after I came on to this forum that I really started to recover though, because the people here are the only ones who really understand how you feel. Burnie sounds like she was a wonderful dog and you have had her for so long, she was a member of your family and it is a huge loss for you. I understand the " I just want her back" feeling too, been there, you feel so helpless and lost, I really feel for you. Take care and I hope you find heaps of support here. Hugs.
