I don't understand I haven't on for a while what happened, if you don't feel like talking about it I understand

Oh no you are fineā€¦
Winston died right after his entropion surgery last month. He was fine right after the surgery, and then he went into distress. I had to rush him to an emergency clinic where he died about 10 minutes after we got thereā€¦ I really don't know what happened, but they mentioned an elongated soft palate and or anesthesia as being combined issues. I lost his mother Bella after her spay in June of last year, and Winston's little brother Wellie I had to have put to sleep in April because he was born w/severe hydrocephalus. So as of now I went from having 3 bullies to having none...

I don't mean to cause panic & worryā€¦ I just seem to have incredibly bad luck when it comes to my bullies. I'm sure that Rebel will be fineā€¦ many bullies on here have surgeries all the time. I've been unable to find a great bully vet in my area :(

Tracey, I think of you and Winston and your family so often. Winston always reminded me of my Dudley, so he holds a very special place in my heart. Just know that we share your pain and sorrow in our hearts. And, maybe, each of us stops for a moment every day and we give our bullies just a little extra love...because of Winston. Sending hugs!

Tracey I still think of Winston everyday and the senseless tragedy that happened that day. How sad the vet never reached out to you. Even if they are busy there's no excuse in a situation like this for not contacting you. I have an insensitive vet also and can't seem to find another one as of yet. I don't care how good they are..if they dont have that bedside manner or follow up after visits theyre doing a serious disservice to the pet owner. These dogs are family to us and the vets I've dealt with don't seem to get that..
what you went through last month with Winston is absolutely heartbreaking. Your EBN family will,always be here for you.

Tracey, so sorry that your vet nor the surgeon have called. :(

You have beautiful memories of Winston that no one can take away... and memories that are special to you alone. Keep those close to your heart. And THANK YOU for letting us know Winston. It really was an honor. ā™„

I know you are still hurting. I remember well how horrible the month was after Trixie died. We think about you all the time and hope you can hold on to the happy memories you made with that sweet Winston when you're feeling down.
