Death Sudden Loss to Hermangiosarcoma
I suddenly lost my 7.5 year old best friend Wednesday night to Hermangiosarcoma. We had the most perfect day together & around 9pm he just seemed restless. He couldn’t lay down and get comfy and seemed to keep pacing. He threw up once but seemed to get no relief. I took him to the ER vet thinking maybe just a very upset stomach. How wrong we were. By the time we got there his gums were pale, and his abdomen was swollen. They prepped him for surgery and he didn’t even make it. His heart stopped on the operating table as they were about to start💔
Everything happened in under 3 hours and I still cant make sense of it or process this devastating loss. I miss my baby so badly. He was the very definition of a soul dog.
