This is a hard post to write, It seems so unreal but Sadie died very early this morning. She was fine friday and saturday morning she seemed just tired Brent and I both left for work and Brent came home and she had thrown up But we didn't think anything of it cause she has thrown up before and was still acting ok. Later that night we got home from the utah game and she was lying next to her water she had drank the whole thing and had thrown up again. I gave her more water and she drank that and threw that up, I know that dogs can get upset stomachs easily and to just give them a little bit of pepto. I gave her a little and less then 10 minutes later she had thrown that back up. It was about 10PM and I just picked her up and held her for a little and took her to her bed. Brent and I started a movie and then around 3am Sadie had vomited again and this time it looked like blood, Brent googled her symptoms and we decided that we would take her to the vet first thing in the morning.. since it was about 4 in the morning. At about 6 am I woke up to Sadie breathing really heavy then it just stopped. I got out of bed and she was lying down I went to pick her up and she was just lifeless, I frantically yelled for
Brent that we had to GO NOW! He jumped up we called the animal emergency and luckily someone was there and told us to bring her in. It was to late. I held my baby girl the whole time, her body started to stiffen and Brent and I sat and held her for a little longer and said goodbye. The vet diagnosed her with Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis or HGE, which could be caused by several different things, and its hard to diagnose, the best way is if she was pooping blood or throwing it up and once it gets to that point there is no treatment, nothing we could of done. Even if we brought her in when she first vomited the chance for her to live was very little. Because its such an aggressive disease. Brent and I both feel so guilty and are full of would have and should haves and I know we shouldn't, But its hard to lose a pet, especially Sadie. She was the best dog and We MISS her so so much. My dad went and picked Sadie up from the vet to bury her in his backyard. She was a big part of our life and will never be forgotten.
WE LOVE YOU SADIE!!!!!!
