silverfish Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I am so very sorry to hear that. Rest in peace, Dylan. I can say that I know a little of what you feel right now. I lost my beautiful Renie in a traumatic and sudden way early in 2008 and sweet Jack followed her only five months later in an equally traumatic way. I found the twin loss so very hard to get past, so my thoughts are very much with you. It's why I haven't ever changed my signature, I suppose.

JohnF Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm so sorry. Run free with the Angels Dylan. That kind of thing is our worst nightmare, it sounds like his body's regulatory system broke down leading to malignant hyperthermia which led to a cascade of other organ failures. Don't beat yourself up over this, he needed the operation to have a chance of a better life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante2zoe Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I cannot express how sorry I am. I suddenly lost Zoe after a dental after having lost 2 3 months earlier. It was devastating and the guilt was overwhelming. But, as I was told over and over, I was trying to do what was in her best interests. It is so very hard. Rest in peace, Dylan. You knew you were loved. Hugs.

MP_the4pack Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm so very sorry! It's my worst nightmare. Don't beat yourself up. I had the tieback done on my 11 yr old girl and she lived to 15.5. My sister did not do the surgery for her golden retriever, and that dog suffered for 2 yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LazyBlaze Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm so sorry. It's everyone's dread and fear that something does not go right with a surgery, there is always that small risk. It's a risk that any one of us would also have taken, and my heart goes out to you that things did not go as they should have and you've lost your boy. You were doing your utmost to improve his quality of life; he would know this, and knew your love. My deepest condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenwinniesmom Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Oh, no! I'm so sorry. The pain in your words is very clear, and you must be feeling so many emotions, dealing with losing Dylan unexpectedly, so soon after losing Winnie. Please trust people who know from experience---be gentle with yourself during this terrible time. You loved your boy, and all you wanted was what was best for him.
