<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px">As those of you on Facebook already know, our sweet Dozer traveled to the Bridge on Wednesday evening. He seemed to be really minding the heat that day so I decided to give him a tepid bath in the bathtub. While in there he suddenly lay down and even wanted to put his face in the water. My daughter helped me rinse him off and get him out of the tub and dried off but he didn't seem to have the strength to do more than lie on the cool bathroom tile floor. He occasionally moaned, not like he was in pain but like he just didn't feel well. He had been on the starting dose of MMS for about three days at this point and in retrospect I wonder if he wasn't just feeling horribly nauseated since it wasn't that long after eating his dinner with the MMS added that this happened. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px">We called our vet and of course the office was closed so we had to travel to the emergency vet where we had a nightmarish experience. Within five minutes after we entered the office they put their hand out for money. Then, they took him in the back to put in a catheter for euthanasia and couldn't find a vein for 45 minutes...but NO ONE told us this! We just sat and waited, worried and stressed over what was going on. They finally brought him back and he was a bit more alert - lifting his head - but not much. They asked if we wanted some time with him and we said yes. After ten minutes or so I was just ready to let him go. No one came back for nearly a half hour. Once again my daughter had to seek out someone to tell them they were just torturing me with all the delays and shortly thereafter the vet came into the room and explained that they couldn't access the med cabinet where they kept the medication which was needed. I have no idea what the problem was, just that there was one. I was far too distraught at this point to care. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px">So, I made what I believed was the best decision I could for our big guy. He was incredibly special and didn't deserve a poor quality of life at 14 years. I would have given anything for the MMS or the neoplasene we were considering, to work. There is a HUGE hole in my heart and the house is far too quiet. Delilah seems to be out-of-sorts - like she doesn't quite understand where her brother has gone. I think she is lonely and that, too, breaks my heart.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px">Thank you to all who have sent caring messages of love, condolence, hugs and heart healing drool. It means more than you know.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:19px">Sandi, Mamaslave to to Delilah Belle and Dozer, ATB forever in my heart</div></div></div>
