This is Denver, our pure blood Basenji. He was 2 years old and didn't have to die if not for the vet's undevoted attention.
Reading the vets notes makes me physically ill.
He was diagnosed with gas on july 4, 2005. The vet even belittled us for taking him in for an emergeny visit on a holiday saying it could have waited until regular bussiness hours.
Two weeks later, after several more visits including an overnight stay at the hospital, he passed on from a digestive bowel disease.
I sudder to think of the pain he was really in.
H was a good boy who deserved better. We try and focus on the good times, But its not easy.
we miss him.
