It is with great heartache that I have to report our Ava was put at peace last
night by her owner Linda The Dr never gave us a straight answer on what did
happen. Ava had been in an oxygen tent most of yesterday, surgery was put on
the back burner due to her having difficulty breathing even in an oxygen tent.
Linda and I decided to put her down sicne there seemed to be nothing the vets
could do for her, and to have her suffer was just too much on us both. We did
learn that it was NOT an undiagnosed heart mumor as the emergency vet had
thought. The Specialist saw her yesterday, and w learned she blew the left
valve in her heart possibly from a blood clot or a tumor on her heart. The
specialist felt t it could NOT have been diagnosed/prevented prior to it
happening, and the it is not likely to happen to her mom or her children. It
is just "something bad that happens" and noone knows why. I wish I had a
better answer, but that is all I know. Ava was loved by all, and
even though she was only in Linda's life for 3 months, Linda says she would
never had had it anyother way. Linda is a devoted cat rescue person, owning
our Local NJ Starr Cat Rescue. Ava turned her from a devoted cat person to a
now devoted Shepherd lover with her planning to add even more Shepehrds in her
life despite this heartache. Over the past few months Linda and I would talk
or see each other often with her telling me (and everyone around us)how much
she loved Ava, and how she was the best dog that ever lived. Ava came into her
home with her 15+ house cats, and made herslef at home from day 1. She was
always at Linda's side, with her and her husband "fighting" over who would take
Ava with them when her husband went to work. Linda even rescued a small dog
recently just so Ava would ahve a "dog" to hang out with instead of just her
cats while she waitined for my next litter to come so she could add another
Shepherd to her life. Just 2 weeks ago, she told me of
her plans to have Ava's portrait tatooed on her due to the love she had for
her. She truly loved this dog, and it is heartbreaking to find such a
wonderful home for Ava and to have this happen so soon after she left. Ava
would never had left here if it was not for her and my girl Roxy had not
getting along. Ava was truly the best dog ever, loving everyone and everything
and for this to happen to her at only 5 /12 is devestating to all. The only
peace we have is tha it happened so quickly and suffering was at a minimal.
Ava truly had the BEST life with Linda, and her last months were happy and
spoiled, and Linda and I would not have had it any other way.
