isabelladangeloI just wanted to take a couple of minutes to thank everyone so much for their thoughts and prayers right now. I promise to go back and thank each of you individually. It really has helped me a great deal through this. We buried Ginsie yesterday down at the house in North Carolina. She loved it here and we will always own this house so it seemed the most logical place to put her.
Mom took her in to the vet Monday morning since Ginsie collapsed that morning. She had been acting better - normal "Dear God, what did I eat?" type symptoms- but that morning she took a turn for the worse. At the vet's, her heart stopped but they were able to give her CPR and transport her to the 24/7 facility. There, they told us she had gone into septic shock. Her blood sugar was so low that they were giving her new injections of sugar every ten minutes and they were having trouble stabilizing her blood pressure. Even in dogs that are more stable, the survival rate is only 5%. In humans, since we can explain we don't have a normal tummy ache, the survival rate is still only at 40%.
So, the vet brought her in to a room where we were able to say goodbye. I made sure to bury her with squirelly and with her tiaras. I'm sure some archeologist a few hundred years from now will be very confused by that. But the pup needed a proper burial and we made sure she had one.
