I’m incredibly heartbroken to let you all know that Peanut crossed the rainbow bridge. He passed peacefully in my arms, engulfed by all the love and kisses I could give him.
Peanut’s heart was severely enlarged and was pumping fluid into his lungs—essentially, he was internally drowning. His doctors had never seen such an enlarged heart in a puppy so young and tiny. They explained the quality of life that awaited him, IF he even survived the trip to the specialist hospital without oxygen, which they weren’t confident he would.
While we are known to get another and another—and yet another—opinion, Peanut was struggling. Every breath was a battle and he was suffering. I couldn’t prolong his pain. That would have been selfish and it would have been cruel, knowing the quality of life he would have had.
I don’t make these decisions lightly. It tore my heart to shreds—but I know it was the kindest and most humane choice for Peanut.
Thank you to the staff at VEG who showed incredible compassion to both of us. And thank you to everyone who jumped into action and offered support in hopes of saving him. I truly wish I were sharing a different update.
I’m so sorry, baby Peanut.
I hope you felt how much you were loved.
I’ll see you again soon buddy 💜
