I awoke to find our dearly loved 12 yr old Chihuahua collapsed on the floor and struggling to breathe his tongue was all the way out of his mouth and it was a bluish colour.
Dp rushed him to the vet where upon arrival his tongue was a bright blue and appeared he was not breathing.
All 3 vets at the practice worked on him straight away gave oxygen and the anti viral medication and sedated him to try and give him a chance.
That afternoon we rang and was told he had started to wake up but it is touch and go if he survived the night it would be a surprise.
The next morning we received the news that has absolutely shattered us that our gorgeous boy has gone to the
He did survive the night but passed away at 7am that morning.
I can't seem to function at all. I am constantly seeing his limp body and him struggling to breathe every time i try and close my eyes.
I have gone over and over the night before were i did hear some strange noises coming from the laundry ( were our dogs sleep ) i checked on the numerous times through the night i just thought it was our younger dog annoying him.
I am blaming myself for not noticing the signs which now after reading all the information about Paralysis ticks seems our boy was displaying the night before i found him.
Our younger Chihuahua is fretting for him, DP is dealing with it the best way he knows how which is being extremely quite and i can't stop crying.
I'm so sorry i failed you George i love and miss you so very much.
RIP George Until we meet again mate
