Rebanne Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Well I don't really know how to say this but Opal died this morning. It was instant. I did CRP for around 20/30 minutes while trying to get a vet. Had to ring a friend to ring one for me. Couldn't take the time to find a pen to write down a number. I've never had a dog die like this. I've always been able to help them. I'm in shock, I can't believe she was fine one minute and dead the next. Vet has done an autopsy, will get the report tomorrow. Main possibility is some bleeding thing, her lungs were full of blood. Photos were taken of Opals heart and the vet's colleagues will discuss tomorrow, but Amy thinks more the bleeding thing. I'll post the correct name when I get the report. Opal was 5 3/4 years young. My only consulation is she had no idea what happened.

tdierikx Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Oh jeebus @Rebanne... my heart breaks with you and for you. I'm sure Opal knew in some way how hard you tried to bring her back, but it was her time... however hard that is for us who are left behind. Please remember her with lots of smiles and a heart full of love for all the amazing memories you made together over the years. She will always be with you in your heart. Fly free with the angels goodest girl Opal... Much love and virtual hugs to you Rebanne... T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebanne Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 One week today. I was still working on Opal at this time but I already knew it was futile. I feel so broken. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 No wonder you are traumatised Rebanne. This was a very traumatic experience and you are no doubt just replaying it over and over trying to come up with a new outcome. I'm very sorry you had to go through this. Little consolation but it sounds like it was a quick passing for Opal. She's safe over the bridge. X 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
