My friend Misty, a 9 lb Chihuahua, died on 08/11/2007. Misty was sent into cardiac arrest and was being treated with medication and was doing very well, but, the 1/4 sticks and 1/2 sticks continued. She was scared to death. I tried to get a vet, but none were available except for the emergency vet who wanted money upfront to treat her. I am the sole support of this family and did not have that kind of money. It seems vets care more about the money than an animal. I would have been able to pay overtime but that was not an option with them. You would think in this day and age with all the Homeland Security we are suppose to have, these kind of explosives would not be available to the average citzen but they are, you would also think a more aggressive effort would be made to get the explosives and guns out of the hands of those who could use the explosives to blow up a car, or a building and god knows the illegal guns have killed over 200 people in Philadelphia so far this year. I will never forget how my friend suffered an awful death, with her lungs filling up with fluid and no one would help us. It was just a dog you will say, no she wasn't, she was my best friend and never left my side until the wee hours of the night Saturday, and now I am going to lose Matilda as she is dying from heartbreak over the loss of Misty. NOTE: Matilda died on 8/15/2007 she lost will to eat due to the loss of Misty, Matilda was a diabetic on insulin, insulin could not be given without food being eaten, she gave up the will to live do to the lost of Misty her friend. I loss both dogs 4 days apart from each other.
