She was only a year and 3 months old. It all started with what we/our vet thought was allergies. Scratching around her neck and face horribly. Treated her with steroids and antibiotics for months and she only got worse and started becoming withdrawn, lethargic and miserable. Long story short, we ended up having to take her to the emergency animal hospital where we found out she was fatally anemic and needed $3,500 worth of blood transfusions and tests only to find out it would likely be a lifelong battle of something like cancer or immune disorders. We had to make a decision right on the spot to euthanize her. I went in thinking I was going to be taking my baby home with me. We did everything we could. I would have gladly paid for anything she needed but I knew it would be miserable for her and she probably wasn't going to survive anyway, plus I would only have enough credit to pay for initial testing much less the multiple transfusions and treatment. I have to bury her body today. I loved her so much, she was my best friend. I only got to have her in my life for one year. I cannot help but feel guilt for not finding the problem sooner. I feel like I'll never feel whole again.
