Discussion Rip🌸My Angle - Charlie 💔🥺
I lost my 9-year-old dog today due to parvovirus.
The last 12 days have been the hardest I've ever lived through. Every day was spent taking him to the vet, getting fluids, glucose, antibiotics, and hoping that each new day would be the day he finally got better.
He stopped eating, became so weak that he couldn't walk anymore, but he still looked at me every time I sat beside him. He still drank water on his own, and I kept telling myself that meant he was still fighting.
Today he passed black, bloody stool, and a few hours later, he was gone.
I keep replaying everything in my head, wondering if I missed something or if there was anything else I could have done. I don't know if that feeling will ever go away.
He wasn't just a pet. He had been with me for years. He was there through good days and bad days, and now the house feels strangely quiet without him.
I'm literally crying, my tears aren't stopping , for me you are still with us
Rip 💔

I lost my lil angel this April too. And I felt everything you felt, each thought about how I could have done differently to save her. Seeing her that way broke me in ways I never experienced, she couldn’t walk anymore, couldn’t eat, and she fought hard but I looked her and said ‘if it was her time to go, it’s okay, she didn’t need to fight anymore’ and I was the one to check for her breathing to find out if she was gone. And I will never recover from the pain to find out that she was gone, her lil heart stopped beating forever. I’m so sorry for your loss, but thanks for being with your dog in those final moments, it meant probably everything to him. Take care please.
