I lost my beloved dobermann 'Biscuit' on 17th March 2011, and the pain of losing her seems to be getting worse rather than better. She was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in Sept 2010, and we were almost through 6 months of chemo, and she was in remission, when she developed an irregular heart problem (this being a side effect of one of the chemo drugs, although we did'nt know this at the start), and on the way home from her weekly chemo session, she died in the back of the car. I was at home waiting for my husband and her to arrive, when he walked in and said she had just died. I did'nt get to say goodbye, and because it happened so quickly and not expected, I can't seem to get past it.

Hi Karrina
I understand exactly how you feel, my Louis was diagnosed with lymphoma and within 4 weeks and one chemo session, he deteriorated dramatically that we had to say goodbye. Obviously we were there, but believe me, having to cuddle him whilst knowing they were going to take his life away was horrendous, I still get flashbacks now. Louis was only 6, never been ill and a really fit dog. The vets were so surprised when they found the cancer, because he was so well, young and fit, they were expecting to find a blockage of some kind, like a sock not cancer!
Please be at peace knowing she went quickly and you know that she will know how much you loved her and always will.
RIP Biscuit xxx

Thanks for replying Fiona, so sorry to hear about Louis. I try to think about all the fun times we had, but I feel robbed and cheated, it is so unfair.
Regards
