For The Love Of Sydney

page 9

     The doctor walked in with the blood results in hand.  The somber expression on his face finally told the truth.  "Put her down! Please put her down!"  I cried out wrapping my arms around her entire body. Crying out of control, I whispered into her ear "I love you, Sydney.  Baby girl, I'm so,so sorry." 

     The doctor told us that Monday her blood was at 33 and today on Wednesday it's at 47.   That her kidneys and liver was already shutting down.  Her little heart was barely beating.  The doctor came back within 10 minutes with the shot to put her to her final rest.  

     Finally her suffering would stop.  I just pray she forgives us for making her suffer so long.  We both cried over her still body like two babies.  We cried for her suffering, for our loss and for the deep anger in our hearts.  This should not had happened and we both knew it, one simple blood test last, Thursday would have saved her life.   How could that first vet make such a huge mistake,  how did she miss the symptom's when I told her about the white and pink droplets.  Was she just too busy that day or did she just had a bad day that my poor dog had to suffer and die.  One simple bottle of antibiotics if started last, Thursday could have saved her all this pain.  One doctor who should have known better, who should have tried harder and cared more.  So there you go, Sydney's story has been told.  The tears run down my face this moment so please forgive me.  The loss of our baby will live in our hearts forever.  We will never forget her or what she went through this past week.  We have five wonderful years of memories of love, laughter and joy that we can cherish.  We are still blessed to have and love our Zues, Zoey and Dutches.                                                         If Sydney's story can help save one beautiful dogs life, I am grateful.  I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read and cry with me.                                                                                                                                                            God bless you and your pets.
