We sent my 8 year dog to the groomer in the morning and when he came back home within 20mins he seemed really really sick. Took him to the vet and he had GDV. The surgery was 10k and we are so broke and don’t have a way to pay for it. We ended up putting him down and I feel so traumatized. I feel like I can’t breathe without my dog.

I’m also 7 weeks postpartum and since my baby was born I didn’t pay as much attention to him sadly. I feel like I’m never going to get through this.

Also it’s so weird to me that he was completely fine before his grooming appointment. What can I do?? I’m going there when they open and at the least getting my money back. But I want to see camera footage or something. I’m so sick over this. I’m in shock. He was my soul dog. I miss him so much already.

    This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.

    Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.

    Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.

    I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
