Had a client’s pet pass away today. Never gets any easier. The house sitter mentioned he was dealing with a stomach bug, but when I arrived for the midday visit, he was in bad shape. Heavy breathing, vomiting, leaking out the back. I did my best given the circumstances I walked into, but I do wish I could have gotten him to the vet sooner. Maybe it would have helped.
The client knows and wasn’t entirely surprised. He was an older dog that had just recently been to the vet before her trip, but according to the house sitter, he was 100% fine yesterday. Today (or late last night) was when he apparently started his decline.
