Horrible Horrible Sad Day.

[Sparkles62]

I had an appointment at 2pm today, at the vets with my spaniel, Jack,
He has been a bit off colour for the last few days,
We had a lovely walk on the beach on sunday, monday night he wasn't that interested in his food,
tuesday, didn't eat all his tea again, wed, was sick about half seven at night and brought back everything he had eaten for last couple of days, rang vet an got appointment for 2 today.
He walked to the car and got in, very quiet, not his usual self.
Vet examined him and said 'we are going to have to do an x-ray'
I signed a consent form for them to operate if they needed to and left.
I had a phone call just after 7 to say that they were about operate.
Then another call at quarter to nine to say that they had lost him, he had eaten a piece of sharp plastic on the beach, it had punctured a small hole in his stomach and his gall bladder, he had been bleeding slowly inside, and had peritonitis.
I just can't believe he has gone, and I can't stop crying.
I walked him into the vets expecting him to be given some medicine, antibiotics, a tonic maybe, really really didn't expect him to die.
Life is sh*t sometimes isn't it. x

Oh Sparkles I feel for you - so sad to lose a beloved pet ♥

[Sharingan]

So sorry sparkles, that's a really, really horrible thing to have happened:(

[LoftyLottie]

Oh dear. My love to you Sparkles. The loss of a beloved pet is bad enough without the total shock you must have had at something so sudden and unexpected.

There is nothing more I can say except he obviously had a lovely life with you. You couldn't have done more than you did.

Take care xx

Oh, Sparkles. What, as you say, a horrible thing to have happened. I'm so sorry for you.

[Barmaid]

Sparkles, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said.

Hugs. xx

So sorry to hear this Sparkles, horrible thing to happen and my heart goes out to you xxx

Just wish some people would think about what they're doing before they drop litter on the beach or anywhere for that matter.

Sparkles really sorry to hear of your beloved pet Jack and what a shock - to think you are getting a tonic and find he has gone that is the shock. It is all a lesson to those who don't pick up litter anywhere as this the result of it. Love to you Sparkles xxxx.

[Connemmara]

I cant comprehend how you must be feeling Sparkles...saddened to read your post and so sorry for the way you lost your dear Jack x x

Oh Sparkles, i write this with tears in my eyes. I know how it feels to lose our wonderful friend so unexpectedly. Shock is the first thing and then the "what ifs". At least you know he wasnt alone when he went peacefully away. You got him help as soon as you could there was nothing more you could have done. I loved the poem and it bought thoughts of my dear dog, Amber who died while I was on holiday nearly three years ago. When they are ill for a while you try and get ready for it but never do. But when taken like this it is such a shock. Remember him as he was , happy, wagging his tail and all the love you gave each other. He will never leave your side.....ever.!

I have just read through all of your posts again and would like to say a huge thankyou for all of your lovely thoughts, they certainly helped me over the last week. You are all so kind.X
Jack has been cremated and when we pick up his ashes next week, we are going to put him with Sparkles, our other Spaniel who we sadly lost in Feb. X
