My best friend of 3 years unexpectedly crossed the rainbow bridge at 4 AM. He was okay yesterday, his normal self, and around 10 PM it seemed his joints were aching, so I gave him his prescribed medicine. He was a bit lethargic, as the medicine usually does to him, but more so than usual. I kept an eye on him for any other symptoms, and then at 4, he suddenly was struggling to breathe. I panicked and held him in my arms, and just thirty seconds later, he was gone.
He was otherwise healthy and showed no signs of illnesses. I’m absolutely shocked and heartbroken right now. The pet cemetery is going to collect and cremate him today. I feel like I was robbed of time with him. I rescued him on thanksgiving day in 2021, when he was 5. He was only 8 and had so much more life to live.
I was meant to work a 12 hour shift tonight but ended up not going in. Thankfully I stayed home. I couldn’t imagine him going through that alone. The moment I put my arms around him, he stopped fighting and just let go, like he was waiting for it.
I’m devastated. Please give your babies a kiss for me. I’d do anything to kiss him again and watch him smile at me as I come home. 😌😌💔
