I got up early this morning to tend to him and take him outside to potty and poop, and he had passed away last night. I don't know what happened. He was doing really well, and then last night, he wasn't really interested in eating, but took his medicines and some chicken. I took him out and he pooped, and I cleaned his crate, put a piddle pad in and he pottied on it, cleaned him up again and let him settle in for the night. He started crying about 1030, so I sat with him and gave him another dose of pain drugs (metacam) and petted him till midnight. He did some weird little flip on his side, and I kept petting him, and then I went to bed.
He was in the same position I left him last night, and he must've died shortly after I left him.
As I sat there with him for those 2 hours, I got to tell him how sorry I was that those stupid dogs hurt him, and that it wasn't his fault, and that he didn't pick the fight, and that I loved him very much.
He was supposed to get better, he'd done so well. I don't know what happened.

Oh, no! No... oh, God, no! I'll post more later... I can't now.

I can't stop crying, so what's the use? I had this premonition that something was not right with Austin, I did not want to say anything because I could not pinpoint anything. I'm so sorry I did not say something to begin with, so, so sorry!! R.I.P. sweet boy. Sorry, Andrea!! So sorry!

I never can find the right words for these types of posts except to say my heart is sad and my thoughts are with you.

Oh no! Austin was one of the original Anipals from when the DLC started, and I am so sorry that he passed.

RIP Austin.

I am so sorry this terrible thing happened to Austin.

He WAS one of the original Anipals, and was always such a special guy. "Whut, dude, I gots only one eyeball but I can ROCK THAT!" He seemed to have such a great personality, and he was a Very. Good. Dog.


RIP sweet boy.

My heart just sank when I saw this on the topic line when I opened the message board.

I am so sorry for you to lose Austin. Bless his little heart. I am so glad that his last moments were with you loving on him.

We have lost so many recently... the Rainbow Bridge just got another wonderful resident!

Andrea,

I am devastated and just do not know what to say. Life is just not fair sometimes.

I also have no words to express my sorrow in Austin's going to the Bridge.
A big :hug99: for you and the other Anipals.

Oh Gee Andrea, I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know how I missed this thread. I just assumed that Austin would bounce back and be fine. You've had so much loss lately and my heart just goes out to you. RIP Austin.

So very sorry - Austin always reminded me of my Stinker and it was a comfort to see his picture and remember her. They are now playing together. God Speed Austin...

The whole story is in the link, and I don't know what caused his death last night, complications from the attack? Lack of will to live? I don't know.

I'm so sorry, Andrea. I knew the attack wasn't good, but I had no idea it was *that* bad. Poor guy. I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug99:

Andrea, I am so very sorry... I know how much you loved him. I hope it is some comfort that you were able to sit with him & love on him last night...what better way to go to the Bridge, knowing you are truly loved.

What a shocking tragedy! I, too, am very glad you talked to him before he died; I'm sure that was very reassuring to him. Can you communicate with him and ask him what happened?? My deepest sympathies, Andrea - words are so inadequate at times like this. :hug99:

This is so heartbreaking! I feel horrible and sad, as you do a thousand times more. I cried when I read it earlier and kept thinking about him a lot the rest of the day. He had such a sweet kind face. I am sure he had a personality to match. Run free, whole and healthy at the Rainbow Bridge Austin! Time will past swiftly for you until you see Andrea again.

He actually didn't have a kind or sweet personality. He was a jerk, but I loved him for it. He started many an incident of pinning and unnecessary barkfests, but that's who he was and I loved him anyway, and I let him know that.
