Guest Hewlett Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 UPDATE ON MY HEWLETT: My much loved dog passed away last Tuesday night, 8/23/2011. I heard from two specialist vets that day that his problems were severe. He had congestive heart failure, a failing valve in his heart, arrhythmias (severe), fluid in his abdomen and kidney disease. The liver problem was not mentioned at that time. The heart and kidney disease were not compatible with treatment because meds for one condition made the other condition worse. The day of his passing I had planned an in-home euthanasia for Thursday, two days away. I could not stand to see him suffer though the vet had told me he was not really in pain. Tuesday was very difficult and I planned to move it up. His breathing was very difficult, no eating for days and he stopped drinking also. He had a blank look in his eyes much of the time, but at other times I knew he was looking at me for help. I was so desperate for him to eat that I mushed up a banana which he would not eat unless I smeared it on his nose/mouth. Looking back I feel so guilty about that because it must have been humiliating for him. He was such a proud, regal dog. I was getting ready for bed on the couch right next to him when I heard a short noise, looked at him and he opened his eyes wide and looked directly at me, and his head dropped and breathing stopped. I frantically called for my son who did CPR and it may have helped, he popped up for a second, but i knew I had to let him go. I lost my best friend and biggest source of support which I am sure all true dog lovers feel. I am still so, so sad and cry on a moment's notice when I think of him. Getting up in the morning I still say "good morning, baby" and at night the same thing. I am absolutely devastated and I know I need to feel the grief. Up until the time of his decline for about a week, he gave no real indication that he was in trouble. He just "hit the wall." He was just weeks short of his 12th birthday. Thank you greyhounds and greyhound lovers for all the kind words and support. No one understands like someone on this board. I hope with time I can adopt another greyhound but I would feel guilty "replacing" him now as he cannot be replaced. I have to keep everything in the house the same. His water dish is still filled each day and toys are around his bed. I can't bear to see those gone too. I got my first tattoo in memory of him. I'm in my 50s so of course everything thinks I'm nuts, but I feel so good about it. His name and two small paw prints on my ankle. I love it and it will give me a chance to always talk about Hewlett to anyone who asks about it. I love the pic's of all the greyhounds sending their best wishes too. Thank you again. It meant more than you will ever know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
