So I just spent an hour at the vet. My dog just died from a twisted intestine. No symptoms, just dropped. I got her for Christmas 7 years ago. Merry Fucking Christmas.

No way exactly 7 December 25'ths ago?
So sorry dude. There were no signs. Wouldn't a twisted intestine cause pain before actually causing death?

i'm sorry about your dog
hope your holidays get better

[phalkon]

wow. i'm really sorry for your loss. i'm a dog lover myself, and would feel horrible if either of my two dogs passed away

That is so sad. Any idea of how long the intestines could have been twisted for?

[xZel]

So sorry. A twisted intestine is a bad way to go for a dog. I know a couple people who's dogs have died from that.

Shit, sorry to hear. Hopefully the festivities of the day will help to ease the loss..

I'm sorry to hear that. And on Christmas.....so sorry. My dog that I had for 15 years died 5 years ago (not during the holidays). Sometimes I still cry when I think about her. She was my best friend growing up.

I feel your pain. Losing a pet is really no different than losing any human loved one.

This reminded me of the dream I had the other day that my dog got a skin disease and swellings under her skin caused it to rupture so essentially all her skin fell off, and I ended up telling my father to kill her cause she was in pain...

I woke up sad.

I'm sorry for your loss.

[MasterJunpei]

Thats a rather disturbing dream....

I'm really sorry about your loss I hate it when my pets die.

[akira4444]

Man that's horrible... but she'll always be with you, don't forget that. I'm so surprised that there wasn't even any pain shown or anything like that... gawd I feel horrible for you. *hugs*

Cubbie my 8 year old pomeranian died of a heart attack 2 years ago. He just dropped dead in front of me. I honestly don't think I cried so hard or had a death hit me so bad even with a relative's death.

My husband took me to a breeder the next day to get another pup. He knew it would be the only way I could get to a better place. He was right. It was sad to cry when a sweet puppy is trying so hard to make me laugh. Shadow will never replace Cubbie and I will always miss him.

I know how you feel.

Sorry for your loss. I've had several pets die, and it's very sad when it happens.

neat way to go id say

[Devilfish]

Oh, poor thing. My uncle's dog died that way too. It's rough when you absolutely do not see it coming and you barely get time to say goodbye. I'm very sorry for your loss.

neat way to go id say

No. Just no.

arrrrrrrrr forgive me kind lass

[ArticTheTiger]

No. Just no.

in all fairness, there would be lots of more painful ways to go.

[Vexage]

Yeah that happens, can really sneak up on you. I was studying to be a vet once and we normally had a couple of those a month.

Thats why I stick with hamsters. Not as faithful as dogs but just as furry and four times as replaceable.
