I'm so sorry for your loss.. by: Sue from The Puppy Dog Place
Hi B.
I'm so sorry that I only just read this comment, and I wish I had seen it earlier.
Please don't blame yourself for what happened to your dog, you were doing what you believed was right best for her and following the advice of a professional that you trusted.
Your dog knew that you loved and cared for her and I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you. What happened is tragic, and I totally understand your heartbreak, but it was not your fault. Don't torture yourself.
I know how difficult this is, but in time you will be able to remember the good things without feeling so terrible about the other stuff. I lost a dog that I loved very much in an accident, and it still brings tears to my eyes, but it is getting easier to think of her without getting upset. It will get easier for you too.
I hope that you are feeling better by now, and wish you the best of luck in the future. God Bless.

My Wonderful Boxer by: B Butler
I had a 7 year old boxer, took a stool sample to vet and she was given Drontal Plus 4 tablets 68 mg for a "mild" case of worms. I gave the pills 9:30 a.m. By 5:30 p.m. She was vomiting so bad and it smelled like bile. She was again sick the next night and the next and finally her breathing was labored and she was wobbly - I took her immediately to the vet. Who put her on more pills, Lasix, Bactrim and Previcox. The Drontal Plus and these 3 meds were eating her stomach and the vomiting was causing her to aspirate anything she ate into her esophagus. That's what the new vet said that read her x-rays. The vet that originally gave her all this medicine put her to sleep June 1st, saying she had Lung Cancer. My heart is broken and I am so sick inside feeling as though I let her down and I killed her. The vet yesterday said that because she vomited so much that all the food and water she ate came back up into her esophagus I am devestated and I am going to blame myself for the rest of my life. I don't know who to turn too or what to do.
