Worst day ever: Dog attack Bella stopped eating.

[Holachicka]

Thanks guys. DH and I made the choice tonight when we went to check up on her. Her neck is so tweaked, her chin is touching her shoulder. The neck is bent at more than a right angle. He and I are sure it's broken. The vet will come out tomorrow to put her down. I asked about giving her extra pain meds to keep her comfortable until tomorrow, and I will be doubling up with the remainder.

This was such a hard choice to make. We are glad that she does not appear to be in too much pain now. When I spoke to the vet she was absolutly shocked that she is still standing, and still eating.

With her stumbling around, it's really only a matter of time before she slips again, lands screaming in pain and we have to put her down ourselves. We know we're making the right choice for her, but it's still really hard and upsetting. She fought so hard to get better!!

Take special care of yourself tomorrow, and find peace in knowing you did everything you could for Bella, and you are doing what is best for Bella now.

I am so sorry your efforts could not pull her through this. You did everything possible to save her. She was just too injured. At this point, your decision to put her down is the right one. My deepest sympathies to you today.

I am so sorry. That's a tough choice, but I'm sure no one would fault you for it.

I'm so sorry. Its really tough when they are such little fighters but you know you're doing the right thing and she knows this. Hang in there.



On a side note, doesn't this make your neighbors dog's offense even more serious? Couldn't they be in even bigger trouble?

That is very sad news. You have done everything possible to save her and in that, you will find comfort. Blessings to you.
