This morning i got a text from the widow of one of my old clients. Her dog (St. Bernard) was down and having some kind of issue, and she asked if i could bring my van.
(Thank you again to everyone that helped me get it.)
By the time i got there she had called her Vet. They contacted another Vet that did house calls. He wasn’t going to be there for another hour, so i got down on the floor to pet and comfort Cadbury (as in the candy because she’s so sweet). Mom couldn’t because she is also a client with mobility issues of her own.
The vet got there and said that he couldn’t do anything. The issue was somehow neurological. And it was probably causing a lot of pain. Cadbury was panting and foaming and lost control of her bladder.
By that time there were three caregivers there.
We comforted the lady (whose name i can’t use here because she is a client) and the dog as the Vet gave Cadbury her last shots.
I then took Cadbury to the pet crematory.
Cadbury WAS sweet, just like her name. A big goofy loveing old puppy.
My friend/client is now home alone. And i feel terrible for her.
