Very Sad Day

Our little dog Clyde passed away this morning. He started feeling bad on Monday so we took him to the vet. He was acting the same way he did when his back went out. The vet checked him out and gave him a steroid shot. He wasn't feeling any better so we took him back in and at this point we knew it wasn't his back. The vet took blood and ran some tests. He had some internal bleeding and the vet wanted to keep him and monitor it. I called first thing this morning to check on him and the vet told me the bad news. After getting the blood work back, the vet thinks he had another disk rupture on the top of his back, which lead to respiratory failure. We did everything we could and the vet kept him very comfortable. I just feel so bad that he had to go through this.

For those of you who knew Clyde, know that he was fun, loving and very loyal. Even after his back surgery in October and not getting all the feeling back in his back legs, he still loved life and was always so happy, especially when Larry walked in the door. Clyde and Larry were best buds! We now know he is in Doggy Heaven and loving it. We love him so much and we're going to miss him like crazy!
