Darlene

What caused her trachea to collapse? Is that common in her breed? What breed was she? She has very cool markings and looks so smart and sweet. I am sure you miss her, even with your other pets to keep you company. It shouldn’t be otherwise. It is very okay to still grieve Mona. Darlene, when you feel like it, will you show us your dogs and bird, and tell us about them, too? Please do let us know about the trachea – it may help other community members.

She was a rat Terrier she stayed tiny never really grew. Her trachea was bad for awhile and with meds it just wasn’t enough to stop her from coughing went to several different vets and all did what they could do for her. So had to make the decision to get her out of her pain and stop the coughing and let her breathe again. It was horrible but all the poor thing baby did was cough and couldn’t breathe had to put her in oxygen tents cause she turned blue. Was always at the vet. I couldn’t let her go through it anymore I wanted her to be at peace and not suffer anymore.

Oh gosh…Darlene… That is such a heart-wrenching story of love and loss. It wasn’t a comfortable time for her and you did all you could, and letting her go was an act of love and kindness. It’s just so hard… I am so very sorry. I hope you take comfort knowing that you helped her find release and relief, from a place of deep love….
Please, let us know how you are healing. Toni
