Zoey Has Bloat

Even though her entire stomach was bruised and they had to remove the spleen, we gave Zoey time to see if she could pull through. Yesterday (Friday) afternoon, she had to be put down. The stomach was simply dying off.

We don't know why she got bloat -- she hadn't eaten much that morning. She went from a happy, hyper dog in the morning to a dead dog the next day. In the ten months she was with us, she made many friends. She loved people and they loved her back.

I still cannot believe she is gone. I was looking forward to at least 6 years with her (she would have been 7 in November). So sudden.

Iam so sorry for your loss, Iam sure Zoey had a great life.No word can take the pain away, I know I lost my Saint Bernard Baby 4 years ago never thought I would get another dog after that it was heart breaking,she died in my arms,she was a joy to have and I loved her to death,There is not a day that goes by even now that I don't think of her,she will be with me always,just like Zoey will be with you.I now have three dogs,a German Shepard , a Labordoodle , and I just got a baby Great Dane 12 weeks old. No one will ever take her place,she was special. I love these three and would do anything for them they are so spoiled and I love it . In time you find yourself wanting to get another dog,it won't replace Zoey but it does have great rewards.Good Luck.
