We got him only 10 days ago but I was still very affected by his death. All my family is. He died this morning and I feel very guilty and sad. We never got him out of the house so we are not sure how he got sick. The veterinarian believes the mother might have been a carrier, so he might have been sick from birth. We don't know.
He is a very sweet, loving puppy and it's so unfair that this happened to him. His death was very painful. By the end he was allucinating, crashing against walls and barking at nothing. Kato was hollowing from the pain for hours and I regret so very much not putting him to sleep sooner. I could tell was very afraid.
We took him to be cremated a few hours ago and while we waited I couldn't help but notice how thin he became in just a few days. He was such a healthy, fat and lovable puppy when he came home. It affected me a lot to see what the distemper did to him.
Our first dog died a year ago after being with us for 14 years and I guess the worse part is that we got Kato partly to deal with the grief. We probably won't have another dog for a very long time.
I'm not sure why I wrote this. I guess I just needed to vent. Even if it was for very little time, I want to believe he felt happy and loved while he was with us.
