Time4ANap Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Starz unexpectedly went to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. She declined rapidly this afternoon after being unable to keep food and water down yesterday. The vet prescribed meds yesterday which seemed to be working but this afternoon she took a turn for the worse. An exam at the Emergency Vet confirmed what we suspected and it was time to let her go. I'm going to miss that little girl. She wasn't here long, but we are glad that her final days were happy and spent with us. In true greyhound fashion, the dog who had to be lifted from the bed and carried to the car this afternoon had one last rally. On the way to the E-Vet she stood in the car with her head over DW's shoulder helping her drive, and then walked herself into the E-Vet's office to check things out. The girl loved rides in the car.
