Potter64 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Lost my best mate New Year's Day so it's with a sad heart that I am writing this just to warn anyone on here who's dog falls ill. From what I have learned since it appears to be some kind of pesticide/ insecticide that did the deed that she has either licked off herself or digested she may have even drank from a puddle I don't know how it's go into her. It started with diarrhoea and sickness her poo been ( orange) the vet diagnosed gastroenteritis and treated her for this.A few hours later she passed away I still feel that I let her down when she needed me but hope that fades with time but I will cherish the time I had with her RIP Molly. anyway enjoy what's left of the season and happy new year to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 That is not good news. I am sorry. I cannot imagine anyone using pesticides at this time of year so the cause is a mystery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter64 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 You may be right J dog I may be way off you can google too much I suppose, but it was the orange poo that seemed to fit she's gone had I known the ending that was coming which was not very nice I would have put her to sleep that morning.

Duckandswing Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I really do feel for you. I lost my 9yr old collie early December to kidney failure which was totally unexpected. I didn’t realise it would have affected me quite as much as it did. Chin up fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynes Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I lost my best mate of 10years, 6 weeks ago. He had kidney failure. It was so unexpected. I've never been so upset. you, like I, looked for things to blame but it fruitless. Remember all the good times. You have them forever. All the best.

Walker570 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 It never ever gets any easier but when in a relatively young dog and so sudden( I have lost two dropped dead in seconds) then I know it is worse still and I feel for you.

bruno22rf Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Reading your post whilst looking over at my 2 Springers laid, upside down, on the sofa is about as upsetting as it gets, what a kick in the balls you have had to start the new year. Find another as it's the best way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzicat Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I feel for your loss, never goes it just gets a bit easier., I still miss my cocker from 5 years sgo, & I have another ,arguably " better" but not the character he was.

Potter64 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks for all your kind words. The thing that bugs me the most is not knowing what it was she had really only Been in three places beating rest of her exercise had been in the village on the lead. so my main concern was friends dogs if it is something in any of those areas then there dogs are at risk . I know they had sprayed the rape recently but for what I don't know it may. Something Be harmless. thanks guzzicat i think that's what I miss most at the moment is she was such character . I'm not new to this I know how it works I had three dogs but have lost the two older ones over the last couple of years I was not expecting Molly to go, I may leave it a while but I am sure there will be another cocker along.

Potter64 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Out tomorrow beating so that going to be different, thanks to all who have taken the time to post its only been a couple of days but it's getting easier.. Don't think to much now about the night it happened more the memories we shared DAZZA9t9 that's one nice looking pup enjoy the time you have together and see if you can stop it putting its tongue out at you😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) It just shows how much you loved your dog. My advice is to get onto the internet and find a pup as soon as you can. I found my two Sprockers on ‘Preloved’. Not that either of them were second hand. Edited January 4, 2019 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
