So it was hot and she had no water. Her heart and lungs eventually gave out. Horrible, horrible way to go.(06-23-2015, 08:07 PM)Zhavi Wrote: Family went on vacation, I stayed behind. Â They got back this morning.
They left the family dog with my mom's coworker's boarding kennel.
The dog died sometime this morning, and since the vet said 'not long,' I'm guessing a few hours before they went to pick her up.
I didn't offer to watch her this time, because of hassles with work schedules, and I'm an hour drive away.
Preliminary physical exam he guessed heat exhaustion as the cause. Â First time using a kennel.
She was alone, probably scared, and uncared for when she died.
I could really use a hug.
Oh I'm so sorry that is not only devastating but you must feel awful about the "if only". I don't see how it could just die like that but that's not the point *hugs*

He told us it was completely preventable. If she'd been given water and a cool place, she would be fine.
