So today was a very sad day around our house. Our dog connie died late last night. She was about 9 years old. She got sick very fast and passed away within a few hours. We are almost 100%positive that she died of BLOAT. We did not have an autopsy performed because it will not bring her back and I didnt want to think about her being cut open when she suffered tremendously in the hours leading up to her death. She was taken to the vet at the time of her becoming ill and they could find nothing wrong with her. She died less than 6 hours later.

Our family is extremely upset and everyone is dealing with it diffferently. Jordyn is very sad, Emily keeps saying that I am just telling her a joke, Ryan has no clue, I am angry that the vet did not catch this since she had almost every single symptom, and Morgan is just plain upset. He loved this dog like she was a child.

Please pray that we can all deal with this in our own way. She will be truley missed. She was the best Nurotic dog anyone could hope for.
