First I must say I'm new to this forum, I really wanted to share this terrible story with others and see if anyone else had the same problem. I'm going to make a long reply telling you about the whole story. It's about my 3 (yes, that's all she was) year old red Boxer who had to be put down yesterday because she had un-cureable kidney failure.
Last Wednesday I noticed her shaking and she was cold. On Thursday she went to the vet for her booster jab and that was the last time she ate. Friday she became ill being sick all the time, sleeping all day, etc. and we went to the vets. Saturday she was the same, but Saturday night is when she really started becoming ill, she was still being sick all the time, she could barely walk, she was shakey, she almost fell over when she was upstairs, and she still hadn't eaten anything and my parents were up all night worried about her. Sunday we took her to the vets saying she's no better so we were given some medicine thinking it was a sickness thing and if she's no better to come back Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday she was the same, but ever since Tuesday has been the worst.
She went in as soon as the vet opened, this time she was kept in to have a blood test and we were told it could be good news or bad news, and that we could have her back the next day. ;__; Anyway we went in town for a few hours to pass the time by as they were ringing us that night, I didn't even say goodbye to her as I knew I'd see her again tomorrow, I wasn't even that worried because I thought it was a sickness bug and even if it was bad she could have tablets, my mum thought the same. At around 3pm that day my mum answered the phone crying saying it's not good news. She was dieing of very bad kidney failure which apparently she was born with, her kidneys were working the opposite way round so instead of getting the bad stuff out of her body, it made it, and there was nothing we could do to save her. =( She could've had a Biopsy operation but the vets didn't recommend it, and she was too weak to go through with that now.
On Wednesday me and my mum made a decision that she'll be put to sleep the next day. ;___; The vets tryed their best to save her and were very shocked by her illness, but even if she did get slightly better she would've only had less than a year to live and would be at risk of dieing any time, she was EXTREMELY ill and in alot of pain, plus she couldn't eat so it just wasn't worth it. Her kidneys were very badly damaged, and even if she had the Biopsy operation she was never ever going to live a long happy life. That plus she could've been in pain her whole life because it was always there to happen sooner or later, who knows.
It's not just her dieing that upsets me so much, it's all the stuff that goes with it such as her being only 3, people are going to ask where she is, whenever I see a Boxer it's going to upset me so much, she'll never be in all my photos anymore, there'll be no one there to greet us when we've come back from being out, I'll never get another Boxer as pretty as her, she's even on the first page of DeviantART when you search Boxer dog! There's probably loads of other reasons but I won't go into it right now.
I'm absolutely heartbroken, she was always at my side, when I was in my room she'd wait outside to come in, every morning without fail she'd come to see me in bed and she wouldn't leave until I gave her a kiss on the lips. I'M GOING TO MISS HER SO MUCH! ;___________; So's the rest of my family, they're all just the same and they said they'd pay
