im sure there are many spelling mistakes in this but i dont give a rats ass. I got around maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep last night




last night my cousin and I was watching tv. Around 1030 pm our little dog coco came walking down the hallway (what we though was sort of werid cause when my mother goes to sleep the dog stays on their bed all night sleeping as well)

so she came walking down the hallway and went up to the cup to get a drink of water what was empty, so i picked up the cup and she followed me into the kitchen. I turned around and the little dog fell over and starting having these werid movements. Next thing i knew she pissed and shitted all over the place and couldnt stand ... We called up the vets and they said let her be for around 15 to 20 mins and if she doesnt get any better bring her in right away cause they though that she could be having a Seizure cause she couldnt even stand up.

Well i grabbed her up 20 mins, she started to walk normal but she wouldnt hold her head up and we noticed that one of her eyes no longer responded to light (her eye was HUGE so we took a little flashlight to see if she would blink or even follow the light (it didnt)

well at 1130 last night i took her in and they said they found a MASSIVE Growth in her gut (the local doc back in Feb felt it as well but they said DONT WORRY ABOUT IT cause she was so old (14) She would probally never took the major operation. THey also said her gums were Pure white (meaning internal bleeding)

150 bucks just for the bloodwork. 100+ for the xrays + 4oo-600 to operate just to stop the bleeding then antoher 600 to 1000 to take the lump out of her (99 % chance it was cancer the doc said)

my mother said no way and told me to get the dog and bring her back home (this was around 1230am) well at 1am she starting having troubles breathing and i rushed her back around 130am but she died on the way back to the vets ... Im guessing the blood just filled up the little poor things lungs and she died ? Maybe bleed to death.

The vets though maybe the Growth broke open and started to bleed (but i mean she was dead witin 80 mins) Looking back on some pictures we took of her wenit first happen and pictures we took few days back you could see a Major difference in her face and called around and another vet said that she might had a Seizures that cause something in her brain to exloped causeing bleeding in the brain...

Unless you wanted to stick 600+ there was nothing you could really done for her and if it was the brain there would been nothing they could done anyways ...

i got to bed around 3 hours ago and just kept waking up every 10 mins thinking it was just a bad dream , but sadly its not..

it sure feels werid not seeing the little dog bed where she used to sleep all of the time... she used to love cookies and these little round dog treats .... Also i just keep thinking back at 5pm last night i just took the dog in to get its nails trim

I mean she was a normal acting dog last night.. she ate a big dinner and played and everything.....

I tried to watch one of the last home videos we made of her around her birthday cake we got her back in Feb for her 9th birthday but it was just too hard and had to turn it off as soon as we started singing happy birthday and she looked into the camera.....

In closing just want to say to Coco it just seems like yesterday we got you out of the pound and how everyone said that you looked like a little monkey in the face...

Rest in peace coco, i wish i could go back 24 hours and maybe say do the operation even if it cost me 2000 bucks at least i would still have you right now sitting here looking at me...

Good buy little monkey dog we will always love you and you will always have a place in our hearts no matter how many years will pass... ANd i know that one day that we will see you once again...

RIP

COCO

Got FEB 3 1999
Died JULY 17 2008


goodnight sweet little dog
 
it's rought losing a pet, just hang in there. do some stuff to take your mind off the situation. just remember the pet is no longer in pain..it sucks coco won't be around, but coco is out of pain.
 
My condolences.

I know exactly what you're going though. My dog died November '06. I came back from college for the Thanksgiving holiday at the start of the weekend. On Monday morning, I woke up and went downstairs to use the bathroom and get something to drink. I found my dog lying in her own mess. I tried to coax her into moving, and when I finally got her up, I found out she couldn't walk because her right side wouldn't work.

Didn't get her to the vet until the next morning, and they said it was probably a stroke. They said they could possibly help her, but it would be expensive and that she was already so old that it would probably only buy us a year if anything at all. So, I sadly decided to let her be put to sleep.

A year and a half later, and I still find myself sobbing sometimes thinking about it, and wishing that I had taken to the vet immediately or that I had tried to treat her.
 
Sorry to hear it man. I lost my dog two months ago actually, so reading this was a real tear-jerker.

Like you and ChibiJosh, I kept thinking "I should have taken her to the vet sooner" and such. But just remember how she lived, and not how she died or how you could have made it better.
 
I'm very sorry to hear about this. I can actually relate more than you know. My dog growing up was a Lhasa Apso whose name was also Coco. I had her from 1992 to 2004. My family had three pets, a dog and 2 cats, and it was pretty much understood that Coco was my dog. She was perfectly fine up until a week before I had to go put her to sleep. Apparently she was poisoned, although we have no idea who did it. Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a close pet IS losing a family member and it hurts as much.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. It makes me want to run home right now and hug my dogs.

Farewell Coco...
 
Think about what a good life she had with you all and celebrate the happiness one animal brought to you. Sorry for your loss.

i think that was makes this more shocking. the pet was really never in pain. It ate a big dinner that night. went out like always ... It just up and BOOM this hit out of nowhere. sort of scary that your here one minute and gone the next. Funny how we was looking towards tomorrow (friday) we were going to take her to yard sales ... She loved going to yard sales in the summer.
 
You have my condolences. I had a Sheltie with a tumor in her bladder. We put her to sleep last year and she died in my arms. She was also about 14 and I had her since she was a puppy.
 
My condolences. I know how you feel, I remember when I lost my dog after having him for 11+ years. I was so bummed I couldn't concentrate on anything else for a week.
 
Just wanted to say sorry dude for your loss :/. Pets are wonderful, it's hard to see them go, but it seems you have great memories at least? Hopefully they'll be of some comfort. Feel better man.
 
I lost my dog over a year ago. I came home from college one weekend, and my dog was no longer there. I was so sad, I just couldn't do anything for a long time, since I was REALLY close to my dog (I had him for over 15 years).
 
[quote name='Whambamm']Apparently she was poisoned, although we have no idea who did it.[/quote]

Any neighbor that is a.) within earshot, and b.) takes pride in their lawn.

That is actually fairly common. People intentionally leave out antifreeze (especially antifreeze) and shit like that for a neighbor's dog to get at. Pretty much because it's easier than shooting them and can support playing dumb when the cops come asking questions. "It's not my fault the dog was nosing around my property and ate something they shouldn't have."
 
Sorry about your dog coco.

I miss my dog. She had cancer and it went to her brain as we had to put her down. She was really old however.
 
Condolences. It sucks losing a pet. At least you had nine good years together and you were able to be there during her final minutes. Cherish the memories and rest easy knowing she's in a better place now.
 
'sigh' That stinks about your dog and I am feeling for you. My dog, a member of my family, Tracy, was put into one of the trusted animal watching places, with a pool and great care and did all we could to make sure she was having a good time while my family and myself were going to Disney World, Washington DC, and Murtle Beach, a trip which took about 20 days. When we got back home, July 21, 2006, we got a call from the people who were SUPPOSED to be taking care of her that she had heart failure and died in the veterinary hospital 5 days earlier.......my eyes are getting wattery just thinking about it. I could be saying this out of hurt, but I think the caring facility is to blame....
