This morning at 8am, my dog died :cry:
We had one of those icepacks, with the blue gooey stuff inside, it got left out and he decided to chew on it, which is weird becuase he'd never chewed on something before. That morning we found he'd thrown up, then I noticed he kinda looked drunk, he was stumbling around alot.
We took him to the vet, the vet did some research on the ice pack to see what it contained. The search returned nothing and he said he should stay overnight AT LEAST to make sure he was okay.

11pm: Vet rings, he found out there was actually a recall on all of these ice packs last year, when a toddler almost died after ingesting it. We didn't know because it was in the Herald Sun
Apparently 4ml to a KG is lethal :cry:
This morning Mum went to the vets, the vet stayed up all through the night, ringing emergency vets to find some help. He was having seisures, so we put him in a medically induced coma. We decided to put him down, becuase there was no hope for him:cry:


RIP my dearest Basil bear, we'll love you forever :cry:


Jess:cry::cry::cry::cry:

Terribly, terribly sorry for your loss. Have you heard about.....Rainbow Bridge...??? It's where all our beloved animals go...they wait for us there...it's kinda like animal heaven. Google it...it's lovely, I hope it will comfort you. He is just a gorgeous looking little dog and so obviously well looked after and adored.

Much love, Annie xxxxx

I'm sooo sorry to hear jess i'm not sure if you guys remember when my dog died and i made a post with all our pics together, a kind member showed me this, it certainly made me feel better.XxxX

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
