Sunny

[Tamara]

Maura, that is why we’re here — to create a place where we can talk openly and with truth where we understand. This disease is a monster, a beast, and so awful. I am glad Sunny is home, with you and with Jill. I am sure that is so comforting to her and to you all. Cherish every moment. As we have said before, she is most likely not in pain, just very tired. What matters to her is to have you with her.
with much love, and thinking of you all every moment,

Maura, I’m so sorry you’re in this hell right now. Did they check her bloods at all? Do they have any idea why she’s having trouble breathing? I know just more questions.

I’ve been thinking about you all day too.

Lots of love, Vally & Bingo

Hi
It is 2 in the morning here. Sunny is up making hideous noises. I have to take her back somewhere. I believe she seems choking or vomiting with no vomit. Jill and Mike my husband are asleep. I have no idea if compassionate euthanasia is the right thing. The vet i know will not do it unless i am 100 percent sure. This is a reaction to the blood? But I wikk nevr know. They seemed to have no real answers as to why sunny’s breathing was so labored. Not enough o2- but her levels at release were 27
Pray for me I will need help, peace strength tonight.

Oh Maura – I feel for you. I just saw all the posts when I woke up. I am so, so, so sorry to hear this about Sunny. It might be a reaction to the blood, it might be the drugs, or it might be that her body is getting too tired. Whatever it is you are doing the right thing by taking her back. She may need to go on a drip. She won’t be in pain with the disease itself, but I am wondering how she feels with the choking: is she suffering? – we often don’t know. You say you have no idea if compassionate euthanasia is the right thing, and you have to be guided by Sunny. I know I am not alone on this site in saying that I think you will know; open your heart and listen to her with your mind (not your rational mind that is frantic with worry about the funny noises). It is a very, very difficult decision to make, but sometimes you can feel that that is what our pups want – release from the misery of this horrible disease. When you become aware of that, that is the time.
We are all thinking of you. I have been through it all very recently (and then some), so if you want to call and talk to someone direct my cell number is (removed for privacy). I’m in the UK so we are nearly 8 am as I write this.

Take care
With lots of love
LYnda

Hi to my new dear friends,
Sunny passed away today. She begain vomiting blood and yellow stuff and her nose was dripping orange. I took her to the vet er clinic and she died in my arms with the choice I feel i had to make. I will get her ashes. I fell in the par.king lot screaming and crying and a nice lady came and held me and tried to console me but there will be never anything I can do to feel better. I lost my baby. My sunny girl. I will keep you posted-will need help with grief- my 13 year old is taking it bad. Why did this disease take her?

Oh my dear Maura, I’m heartbroken to hear the terrible news. I can’t imagine how devastated you are feeling just now & I’m so, so sorry. You did everything possible to help her & must never, ever feel guilty in any way.

I am sending you & your family all my love & sympathy, Maura, and please know every one of us is thinking about you at this sad time. It’s really hard for children to cope with this – poor Jill. Please take comfort that you were with your dear love Sunny at the end when she needed you most.

Please keep coming on here as often as you want to – talking helps & we all want you to stay with us.

Love, Sheena xxx
