Dog Died
I adopted a heartworm positive German Shepherd from the pound a few months ago. He made it through all of the treatment injections, and he recovered. He made it out of the kennel rest period. Then, today, when I came home from work in the early afternoon, he was dead in the back yard. The only warning was that he had been urinating in the house for the last couple of days. (That's why he was outside when I wasn't home.) He didn't seem super sick, though he never did become an energetic animal. I was going to give him a few more weeks, and then take him to the vet to ask if I could do anything for his lethargy. He was such a sweet boy, and he was so loving. He was a beautiful dog, and it just breaks my heart that he didn't make it. I haven't been drinking, and I don't plan to go back to it, but I wish something would make me feel less sad.
