At 3 am yesterday, my 13 year old lab died at the vet alone, without family or friends around him. It was a sudden death. He was so lonely.
A few days ago, my family moved to a new house. We live on the second floor and there was no elevator, which meant my dog had to climb up the stairs, something he didn't have to do in the old house. He fell down and fainted. We sent him to the vet and the vet said it is no big deal. The vet put him on the oxygen machine and initially he recovered quickly. However, last night at 3am his heart suddenly stopped beating while still at the vet. My parents were at home sleeping and I was in college. Everything feels wrong about the situation. He died suddenly and he has got no one close to him with him in his last moments. My parents should have been there. I should have been there. And although I know it is probably irrational and unlikely, I feel like the vet did something or neglected something that killed him.
In his last moments, he must have felt so lonely and so helpless. I can't bear thinking about it and I don't think I will ever get over it. Just want to share his story and my feelings.
