last week i rescued a dog.
she had been fighting the owners other dog, and had been put in a muzzle and cage. i collected her on wednesday. she was settling in, and i was starting to retrain her.
today started ok, normal morning walk, i did some work on the game while she slept, then i took her out in the van for a longer walk. i'm meant to back to work tomoorow so tire her out first. we got home, she was still full of energy. she ate, drank and laid down to sleep next to me. 10 minutes later, she gave a big sigh and died. i tried to do cpr or pound on her chest but i couldnt revive her. i thought there was some movement so i rushed her 20min to the emergency vets, but it was too late.
she wasn't even a year old, and i had her less than 5 days.
she died right next to where im sitting. i came home to her toys and stuff all over the flat. i failed her, and the vets dont even know what happened. no sign of bloating, no wounds, no signs of toxicity. i just need some time to deal with this. even though it was only 5 days, theyve all been about bonding, and this is what happened.
sorry
