HongKong willie where are you located in Tampa? Its my home and will be moving back in a few short weeks

Oh, Jennifer how I understand what you are going through. I had to put my 13-year old dog down Feb 2nd. He was fine on Friday, not feeling well on Saturday and died on Monday. I took him to the emergency vet in my town and after the chest xray was taken the vet didn't level with me...she said he had pneumonia when in fact he had a tumor in his chest and pneumonia. He suffered terribly early Monday morning with respiratory failure and by the time I picked him up he was at deaths door. We went went to leave to go to his private vet, I litterally had one foot in and one foot out of the clinic when he lifted up his head, eyes rolled back and let out the worst agonal cry I have ever heard. The vet and I took him back to the exam room, she said his heart rate was faint and wanted to know what I wanted and I said put him down and she did. He died in my arms. I have filed a complaint with his private Vet, part owner of the ER clinic, and with the Dept. of Licensure, Vet area. It is incomprehensible and unforgivable for these ER Vets to let my dog suffer the way he did. I have to believe he is in a better place with my husband who died 12/07 and my only child who died 6/12/03 who was 23 yrs old. Just keep doing your crafts, cry and grieve. Also, if religious pray. Jesus knows what we are going through, he will help if you ask him. God Bless You....
