Yesterday was a very hard day for me!!
Back n September we decided to got to the shelter to adopt a dog. While there my hubby wanted the three year old German Sheppard, while I felt so horrible about the ten year old black lab that was deaf and had multiple masses removed already and couldn’t get around easily. So if you haven’t guessed it yet, we ended up leaving there with both dogs because I just knew that no one would want to adopt the dog that was already in bad shape and was just needing a home to finish her life.
Sophie, the ten year old lab, was my baby and we loved her like crazy.
About a month ago Sophie started falling over and having a lot of issues with walking and being mobile, then soon after she became blind in her right eye. This cause us multiple emergency visits with her to find out what was going on but they just disregarded her and her issues and sent us on our way.
Two weeks later her eyes would not open and her face was swollen and they told us it was allergies and gave her Benadryl and again just sent us on our way.....so we decided to go see another vet and get a second opinion on our baby.
So yesterday i took Sophie to the local vet and told them everything that had been going on and gave her copies of the the vet records from the past few visits and she did an examine on Sophie. Come to find out the was so much more wrong that it was too late to even treat her anymore, and if she had been diagnosed correctly back in the beginning then everything could have been caught in time for our old girl to have stayed with us for another couple years, but instead I had to put my baby girl down yesterday and we had to say our final goodbyes to her.
The whole point in this is, if you feel something is wrong with your babies please don’t just take the word of one person if you feel its not right, keep fighting for your babies till you know there is nothing more that can be done for them!!
