One of the saddest days of our lives just happened recently, Aug.16, 2001. Our 2 year old black and white female boxer, Kasper, had to be put down.
She had been suffering from seziures off and on over the last year but none as bad as Aug.14. She started having them that afternoon and within about 45 minutes she suffered at least nine.
My husband rushed her to the vet and they tried for 2 days to stop the seizures with medication and it worked, except when they tried to switch her over from I.V to oral so she could come home with us.
I went to pick her up on the 16th and they met us at the door to say she had had a terrible day and it didn't look good. The seizures had probably caused a stroke and other damage.
After doing a neurological test they also discovered she had a brain tumour, most likely cancerous.
Our hearts were broken. How could we survive without her ? We had 2 boxers actually and her sister is just utterly lost without her. I miss everything about her from the loud way she would lap water out of her dish ( for what seemed like an eternity) to the way she would bound around the yard like a rabbit.
I know she is in a place now where she suffers no more and is healed from all of this.
I'll miss her more than I can ever say. R.I.P my forever friend. Meet you at the rainbow Bridge.
