As some of you may remember, my JR puppy had been ill, and we found out it was vaso vagal sycnopy. This was where her heart was stopping for upto 30 seconds and so she was passing out and her lungs in turn filling up with fluid..

The vets had hoped that she would grow out of it and we wouldnt have to operate, but the episodes have been recently getting worse, longer and more severe, and her abdomen has also been filling with fluid.

Whereas she was having one fit every day at most and it just being her passing out, she has now been having 3/4/5 a day and they have been lasting ages, and causing her to go blind temporarily..

We had some more tests done and she was booked in to get a pacemaker on Tuesday, the earliest we could arrange for her.This would have regulated her heart so that she didnt pass out, whichin turn would stop her body filling with fluid..


I am really sad to say, that last night at 12.30 ish she had a very bad fit, and she didnt come around... we did try everything we could for her but she just gave up...

Cant describe how I feel atm, after fighting for her for so long...

RIP scrat...

I'm so sorry to hear this. That little dog was such a character, such a shame but remember you did the very best you could so don't blame yourself. Might sound harsh, but don't take too long before you find another, it does help a lot.
 
I'm so sorry to read this. I've followed her story and was so hopeful that she would be ok.

What a terrible shame.

Bless Scrat, she fought so hard for so long. RIP little mite.

I'm so sorry to hear this, she was such a gorgeous girlie. Sounds like you did so much for her - poor little pup RIP.
 
i'm so very sorry to hear that, we lost a jrt puppy to the same condition, RIP little one.
 
RIP little pup.
I'm sorry to hear about her. I lost my cat to heart failure last year. Its so hard to see them go through the bad times. But I think to myself- at least he isn't in pain anymore.
I've learn't recently that life just isn't fair, all the good things get taken away.
I hope you keep the good memories of her and I hope you feel better yourself soon.
 
Really sorry to hear your sad news... I know how hard you fought to get her better through the past few months, she couldn't have wanted for anything more.
