Heartbroken
by: Bella

My foster dog died Tuesday morning b/c of an obstruction. An Xray showed a blockage in his stomach on Sat 3/26. The Doc's orders were to give him 2tbsp of vegetable oil twice a day and puree of chkn/rice plus some pedialyte. On Monday I was ready to request surgery but the Xray showed a clean stomach. I couldn't believe it. It seemed like a good sign but I still wondered its whereabouts. Fluids, vitamin b12, penicillin and metronidazole was given that night. He didn't blink, he was zoned out. He cried out like he was in pain and it broke my heart. I felt helpless. He layed in the crate and liquid diarrhea came out. I knew then it wasn't a bad sign. I talked to him and tried to get his attention. What I thought was vomiting ended up being his tongue then his front legs slowly stiffened and I cried out to him. My baby died at 6:20 am the next day as I watched in disbelief. Is there any way to look at the intestines via Xray in order to see the damage? Would surgery have saved him? I feel like I failed him because he died.
