Death
My mom’s dog Betty is dying. She’s a 13 year old black lab/shepard mix. Her parents were both registered and had a fling. Sadly, when my mom rescued Betty, she found out the owners already had a new bitch because their previous had been “spoiled.” Betty’s mom ended up at the pound, after her pups were taken away just 4 weeks after birth. That’s when mom brought her home and she hasn’t left my mom’s side once in those 13 years.
Anyway, she has no interest in food or water, she’s cold to the touch and she shivers constantly, no interest in toys or walks or anything. Her muscle mass has disappeared and she’s skeletal. It’s awful. Today I’ve noticed her breathing has become heavy and her heart’s racing. Today might be the day we have to take her to the vet. We were hoping she’d pass naturally so we didn’t have to put her through the trauma of the vet. Only time will tell. My mom’s devastated and so am I.
