I lost my precious Molly on Wednesday

[bj0162]

I took Molly in on Sunday because she had a lump on the back of her neck and she wasn't acting right. I was told on Sunday that Molly had cardiomyopathy. She was given meds & sent home to return in two weeks. By Tuesday, she had gotten worse. She could hardly walk. Everything she ate came back up. She went for one day and one night without peeing, even though she was given Lasix which is a diuretic. After bringing her back in, the vet said she had a mass in her abdomen that was bleeding but we needed to take her to a specialty clinic to get ultrasound so that they would know exactly which organ was involved. After the ultrasound, we were told that she had cancerous masses in her spleen, liver, lungs and heart. Surgery could give her another 3 weeks at best. I had no other choice but to let her be put to sleep. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. I've been off work for two days because I can't stop crying. She is having a private cremation and I'm waiting for a call so I can pick up her remains. Will this ever get better?

I am so, so sorry to hear. It's never easy, especially when it comes on so suddenly. But it will get better with time. Try not to think of the fact that she's gone; instead, be thankful for the time you got to spend with her, and the joy and happiness she brought to your life. Molly will be forever loved and missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to put down one of my rotties just over a year ago due to age, arthritis and hip displaysia. I am a 'tough guy' but I cried the entire way home (had to have my wife drive) and probably every day for a good week at least. Even now, thinking about her final moments still hurt. Like the other poster said, focus on the good times you had with her and know that she is in a better place. I swore I would never get another dog again because of how hard that experience was and just a month ago I got a boxer puppy. Stay strong thoughts and prays with you.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Poor little Molly was very sick and you did the absolute right thing for her. She is at peace now. I just lost my sweet boy Fraze two weeks ago so I know that raw, awful pain all too well. Having lost my girl almost three years ago now I can assure you it does ease, but it takes time and is different for everyone and with every dog. You need to let yourself grieve and know that others understand. I also took time off work after losing my babies-no way could I compose myself to go to work the next day. I will say bringing the ashes home gave me a sense of peace with both of them. I at least felt that I had something of them. But the real comfort, for me, is in the wonderful memories, and soon the pictures and those memories will truly comfort you. And think of your sweet girl up at the bridge with all the boxer angels gone before her. I can assure you my Fraze and Ai were at the head of the line with sloppy kisses and wiggling invites to play. They are so much a part of our hearts and souls it is only natural that we miss them so. I pray that time and sweet memories help you think of your Molly and smile. God speed little one

I am so very sorry to read of your loss of Molly. My heart aches for you. I lost my precious Jake 1 year and 3 months ago, and still think of him daily, only now it's in a more positive way most of the time. I, like one of the other posters, thought I could never get another dog. But Jake had left such a pawprint on my heart that I had to open my home to another one. She and I walk by Jake's grave daily, but I have such fond memories of his antics that it hurts far less than it did. I pray that time and the thought of her playing with so many other boxer angels at the bridge will begin to bring you comfort. Godspeed precious Molly.
