Today we have lost our beloved "Electra", she was playing with some wooden stick which has a tragic outcome.
When I woke up yesterday morning and noticed she was not herself, I went to the Soma Animal Clinic unsuspecting of what awaited me. The vet quickly ascertained that she had a constipation in the intestines, which after several tests proved to not be able to fix other than put subject her to an operation.
During the operation the constipation was established to come from 2 small pins (residues), which had jammed. The operation went smoothly, and although she was weak after the operation I thought she was on the mend, but today when I again was at vet to give her more medication and fluid .. She became much more nimble than yesterday.
The operation was all too big strain on her heart and she drew her last breath at vet. A tragic outcome, the losing a dog you are so fond of can not be described in words.
But I do hope this can at least be a "wake up call " for others, to realize that you have to be careful about letting dogs playing with sticks. Have never thought of this as dangerous before until I sat at the vet ... but unfortunately SO ALL WAY too late.
Electra will be deeply missed.
I would like to say a big thanks to Soma Animal Clinic for their great efforts to help Electra and their support through it all.
R.I.P our beloved girl.... |
