Kyra didn't get better. The black liquid presents she was leaving us got redder and redder until they were more blood than feces. So we took her to the vet. I figured she was old and now sick and I was expecting the worst news. And I felt terrible because she got sick because of the dentist appointment I made her :( But we decided even if she turned out ok, today was goodbye regardless. She was too sick for us to keep her and she needed to be near the vet in case she took a turn for the worst.
Luckily the vet determined it was just a stomach virus and she gave us some antiviral meds for Kyra. We gave them back, saying we were returning her to NHS and we went to the surrender counter.
We were waiting for quite a while, which gave me a few last minutes to enjoy Kyra's company. And then after Chris did the paperwork, the girl led our Kyra away :'(
I feel really bad because she's so old and we're just bouncing her around. She needs a steady home to live the rest of her life in, and we weren't it. I feel like we abandoned her :'(
These are the dogs that I foster. I'd like to become a canine behaviorist, but until I do, I intend to foster and rehabilitate dogs with behavioral problems. And the money I make from my pet portraits (http://believepetportraits.blogspot.com/) go towards supplies for these homeless dogs. The dogs and I thank you for your contributions!
