I was crying yesterday and today I am MAD! Why, why didn't the Dr. find the problem? Why couldn't we save her with all the pills and tests? The Dr. should have known what was wrong. She was only 11. Poor Kaiser looks around for her sister and she's not there. I think she knows. It's just not fair!

Dear Mommas,

I am so sorry that you are experiencing so much pain and anger. I assure you it is very normal! There are pages and pages of postings in here from us all that express the same concerns....what if..., why didn't the vet..., if only...
Unfortunately, we are all only human, including the doctors. You mentioned in your first posting that it may have been a blood clot. If that was the cause, there was probably nothing they could have done. She was an older furbaby, and extensive surgery may have been too hard for her body to take. My Rachael was 12 years old when they discovered the unternal bleeding. We knew exploratory surgery would have been too much for her.

You gave her the VERY best life and care that you knew how. You gave her the ultimate gift of love when you ended her pain and suffering. I hope that someday you will find peace with that decision. All this pain and anger you feel will someday heal. Please juts be sure to cry and express your feelings. We are all here to help you!

Hugs,
Cheri

Dear Cheri,

Thank you for your kind words. I think I'm ready to be sad again. Sorry about your Rachael. Someday we'll see them again.

Dear Mommas,
So sorry to hear about your loss, and also the mixed emotions you were feeling about what more the vet could have done.
As Cheri said, we are all familiar with all the different emotions that follow the death of our furbabies.
When I had to help my Winston to Rainbow Bridge, He had only been diagnosed 2 weeks previously with FIV, despite weeks of blood tests. On that final visit, I begged the vet to give an injection, or tablets or something, but there was nothing that could be done. I had faith that the vets had done everything they possibly could, I just had to accept that it was just his time.
We love our furbabies so much, & their passing on causes us so much pain. I know it's a hard time at the moment - most of us have found out that the first few days are the worst. You have found a good site here, where we all understand what you are going through. Thinking of you at this hard time.
Hugs,
Elsie

I think it is normal to alter between being mad and sad. I love my vet for taking care of my Snookie and Chili Bean, and all my fur grandkids. I knew it was not his fault for he did everything he could. But I still felt mad towards him for a little while but it was not his fault 2 of our babies died. Keep hanging in there and talking to us, we know how bad the pain and sadness is.
