Buddy was only 3 when he passed on 9/21/06 from severe kidney failure. I found Buddy lying underneath my deck yesterday, he looked pitiful, so lifeless, I was afraid to touch him - but I gently wrapped him up and drove to the vet. They ran test after test - althought his temperature was so low, it didn't read on the thermomator, his BP was so low they barely could get blood from him for the tests - he laid so still, never moving - as I feared the worst was coming. I had to ask him "Buddy, are you still with me" so many times - I cried and cried, and told him it would be okay - I fed him a little water from a small prescription medicine cup - he could barely open his mouth to drink. The Dr came in and informed me Buddy had most likely gotten into Anti Freeze somewhere - his kidney's had failed - and told me there was nothing at this point we could do. I stayed with Buddy while the Dr sent him to Rainbow Bridge - and I told him over and over how sorry I was that this happened to him -I felt so bad that he was alone, and wished I had found him sooner...I miss him, and feel so much guilt. I know he is in a better place now, resting, and will get better. He will have so many new friends - but his family here misses him...and we always will. He had a desire to live - but this one he couldn't overcome. Please, watch your pets, and talk to your neighbors about the dangers of Anti Freeze. I've heard this before, but never in a million years did I ever think it would happen to me, or my pets.
