Our Little Princess "prissy", RIP 4-23-17 Options

[mswells]

It has been 2 weeks since my 12 year old dog "Prissy", a Pomeranian-Schipperke, went to the Rainbow Bridge on 4/23/17. I am still
very depressed, and numb. She was with me 24/7, as I work from Home also. We had quite the routine,
and now there is a great emptiness....even though we still have 2 cats and a cockatiel bird.
She was my High Maintenance Princess. She had Stomach Issues...IBD, and a blood Cyst on her chest that kept opening
up within the pas few months. Her medications consisted of: Omeprazole, Famotidine, Sucralfate, Metronidazole, Metoclopramide
syrup, and Cerenia. She was also on a specialized diet of Hills Canned ZD Dog Food. I wonder though, if having her on
all those Meds could have done more damage to her stomach or other organs. She had chronic bouts of IBD symptoms
that increased as the older she got. She would not eat anything for days, and would have chronic vomiting. She had been
to the vet a few times where they would keep her a couple days to rehydrate, and get her to eat again, and she would
be fine for a long while...then back it would come....only this time was real bad, and she was extremely lethargic, and would just stand over her water dish, in
a kind of a daze for 30 minutes or so at a time. We took her to the vet, and since her quality of life was not good now, and she was in pain, it was
decided to let her go to The Rainbow Bridge. I also wonder if the big blood cyst could have been the problem...or was it the IBD, in the end.
The cyst was never biopsied or removed, as the vet felt that at her age it could be risky, and it was not hurting her or getting in the way.
I just feel so Depressed, and numb from the events of the last 2 weeks....even though I god to hold her in my arms while the vet was assisting
in her travels to the Rainbow Bridge.
I am now creating a Memorial Garden in the backyard for her headstone.....even though her remains will stay on a devoted mantle, in the bedroom,
next to my other dog Emilio, who passed away in 2005.

Michael.

So Sorry Michael at your recent loss with your darling little Prissy. I know no words can heal your sorrow, I lost my cat Skippy yesterday he was 16 and died as I tried to get him in the pet carrier to take him to the vets.
You did all you could for Prissy and more,she will know what you did for her was through Love and she will be forever in your Heart.
Be strong,take 1 day at a time,it will get easier,remember all the happy days you spent together and don't forget this is not the end you will be together again for eternity after you have crossed Rainbow Bridge.
Good Luck Michael
