Coping With Pet Loss

In 2000 we found a beautiful dog in Cabazon Springs, she was starving and needed a home. She was a grown dog, yet only about 1 - 2 years old. She is a German Shepard mix. The sweetest dog on earth, just loved everybody.

Last week we noticed she had ‘hot spots’ and was drinking a lot of water. We took her to the vet, and they prescribed antibiotics and ointment. She began drinking even more water, and I became concerned. I phoned the vet to get the blood results, they told me to bring her in.

We again (2 days later) brought her into the vets office. They said she did have an infection because her white blood cell count was high, and that she had calcium rods in her urine. She was her happy self, not acting any different. They sent her home again with stronger antibiotics, but nothing too alarming.
The next day, we found her outside as she had passed away. We will never know what happened to our Princess Love. I miss her so much. I hope she did not suffer too much. God please keep her well.
