I'm sorry to say that I am updating with very bad news. We had to let Daisy go last night.
Unlike on Friday, I don't think she ate at all yesterday. We were out for a while in the afternoon when, of course, the vet called with the results from her xrays. By the time we were back home, the vet's office was closed.
She was still very wheezy when we came home and just lying in her bed. A couple of hours later her breathing became much more laboured. She tried to hide under the bed, but stopped and just lay down beside me. I was able to give her cuddles, but she didn't respond with headbumpies which she had been giving all week.
We had to call the emergency vet. His feeling was that it was not a heart problem, and if it was pneumonia, then it was an extreme case. When pressed, he was of the opinion that she probably would not make it until morning. She was suffering, and we didn't want that to go on longer than necessary.
It was very peaceful and quick. Later her mummy had a little sniff round her. Sammy didn't go too close though.
We buried Daisy in the garden this morning and the sun is shining on her at the moment. She loved her garden and I am sure that is where her spirit will be. Well, maybe on our bed at night too.
Godspeed my sweetheart.
