my dog died on monday i feel so horrible?

  on sunday night she was breathing heavier than usual and seeing as it was a sunday night, and we had no money for an emergency vet, who require payment upfront, we decided to leave her for the night, she didnt seem to be in any pain or anything, and so we made her as comfortable as possible, we left her food right next to her bed, and her water, and we covered her up so she was warm. Remember i didnt have the money for the emergency vet, and it was 45 mins away on the train, also she was quite old and i think if i took her the vet would have put her to sleep. I just feel so bad because she loved me the most and i didnt know what i was thinking when i left her for the night, i honestly wish i hadnt have left her now and im seriously beating myself up about it.



Like i said she wasnt in pain, so we left her for the night and we was going to take her to the vet in the morning, the RSPCA and we could pay them back when we had the money, she hated the vets by the way , i think it was the smell, she hated vets. So we left her for the night, i ran down in the morning to see if she was any better, and it seemed like she was, her breathing was alot more calmer, although she was in a trance kinda, she was sitting up breathing and just looking around and i ran over and made her comfortable again, her breathing seemed alot calmer, and some of her food had been touched, she wasnt eating either so i thought she was getting better, i gave her some water and i went back upstairs as it was quite early in the morning, and i thought she was getting better. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com



When i was down there i stroked her and i could see in her eyes she was happy i was there, then an hour later my dad went down and she died when he was in the kitchen. I feel SO BAD that i didnt stay with her but i thought she was getting better. And everytime i think of me going down and seeing her in that trance i just want to cry my eyes out for not being with her, she must've been scared.



But like i said i set her down and i thought she was getting better and she died an hour later, i just wish i could turn back time and hug her and stoke her and just talk to her, in a way im pleased i got up earlyish so that i could make her comfortable again and stroke her, it relaxed her, me being there, then i heard her get up and i thought shes just having a drink or something i thought nothing of it as her breathing had calmed and my dad went down and she was lying in her own urine and he made her comfortable again, as we was gonna get ready for the vets and she died.



I just miss her so much and i feel so bad for not bringing her up with me and just having her with me and she always looked for me, i feel so guilty and ive had a nervous breakdown because of it i was really close to that dog, she was with me through some difficult times and i wasnt there for her in the end, but i was right? i went down just before she passed and you know when you look at a dog, and you can see in their eyes they 're happy to see you, she looked like that, and me being the retard i am ran back upstairs because her breathing had calmed but really she was dying, i so would have stayed if i knew she was that bad seriously and i regret it so much, its tearing me up.
my sisters dog died suddenly last week pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

this is after the vet taking blood test and charging my sister 89 pound just for the blood tests robbing b @ stards are some vets.

After all that the blood tests were clear and her dog died from fitting.

The whole experience as been heartbreaking

my sister misses her dog and will for quite a while

we have a dog they become such a part of the family it is heartbreaking when they die

give yourself time to grieve we would take the time to grieve over a human a dog should be no different
This is not an easy thing by far as pets are like children. Sounds like it was just her time and in time you will heal and be ready to move on at your timing
I hope this helps you:



Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.



When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.



All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.



They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.



You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
