A grass seed killed my beautiful dog
Three days ago I lost my beautiful dog Puntino for a grass seed that went to his lung whilst chasing his ball on the fields. I battled this for 5 weeks. He had several x rays and ultrasounds, he had two CT scans and two operations. When it seemed they finally found it, something went wrong after the surgery, they think he developed a thrombus and he was gone within hours. The last time he saw me I was leaving him in a cage. It devastates me. I re-live those walks on the fields when he was chasing his ball, he ran and jumped so high, he was the embodiment of the joy for life. I can’t believe I was so stupid to let him run on that dried grass. Now I look online, I talk to people and everybody seems to know how dangerous this is. Yet I didn’t. He was only about 2, or less. I rescued him 8 months ago after a difficult start in life. He deserved so much better. I feel so responsible for what happened to him. I’m inconsolable.
