Thanks for all the encouraging comments, everyone. Bibi survived! She went home a few days ago and is recovering. We are staying positive and glad that she survived this ordeal! ;__;
My sister was telling me how bibi suffered, vomiting for a few days last week, and on saturday midnight, she heard bibi wailing and crying so tragically, so painfully, so loudly. Calling for help! My sister was almost in tears when she woke her husband, "Bibi is going to die!" She really thought so then.
It was heart wrenching to see your own pet to suffer like such. My sister was so guilty. She shouldn't have procrastinate, she said.
I felt the same guilt when juju had a stomach inflammation in 2007 and had to stay at the vet for a few days. I was tearing on the trainride home.You felt that you let your dog down. That you had toyed with her precious little life and had failed in your duties as a pet owner. They depended solely on you and had no one else and you, had failed her completely.
My bro in law called the vet immediately then and that same night, they had to operate on her right away. 2am-ish.
He had to hide the fact that the vet told him she was in crucial stage and was so close to death. So close to death.
My sister and i were in tears when we talked about this. It's so heart breaking.
Right now she is recovering and is getting better, and we want to stay positive. Bibi is only 8 and a half. I'm proud to say, although my sister has 3 kids, 2 dogs a dozen birds and a hamster, never have enough time for her dogs, she will never forsake them. She has less time for them, but doesn't mean less love. They tried their best to give what they can. I'm also lucky to be surrounded with animal loving family members, including my in laws.
When this happened, I researched about canine cancer and was reading
this and
this. It changed my mindset alot and i hope im not too late.
Quoted: You also need to rethink the misguided idea that feeding your dog the same commercial diet every day is healthy.
This woke me up. I used to think healthy dogs should only eat good quality dog food and they should not have too much human food, it's baddddddd for them. So just stick to dog food!
I was a victim (so is my dog) to advertising and common belief.
Dogs get sick, can get cancer, how could we ever think that a pack of kibbles are enough for them? Aren't they just like us?
It's common knowledge to humans that Too Much Processed Food = high risk of cancer.
How can it be any different for our dogs?
im doing more research on dog diet and dog health and i hope i can correct my dog's diet as soon as possible. If you are a pet owner as well, do give this a thought as well.
If you think i'm too free and i shouldn't waste my time on these, argh you are just like my dad. Who reprimanded my sister for spending money on bibi's surgery. I suppose older people are like that, but even my mother was very upset to hear about bibi having cancer.
They are your family too.
You do know they love you. Even without words.
I hate people who call people who love their dogs 狗痴。Go and die now. GO!
