It's with a very heavy heart that I say that my baby boy Bentley Boston passed away tonight at 7pm. He was vaccinated against Parvo with a new vaccination called Nobivac. He had only been vaccinated 6 months ago yet still
Contracted the virus. There are no words to explain the devastation I feel and the utter heartbreak. For dog lovers who are getting their dogs shots, please choose the tried and true C5 shot not this pathetic new vax that clearly is substandard. So much so the company is paying for my vet bills, cremation and have offer money towards a new puppy. Well MSD, I don't want a new puppy, I loved and wanted the one I had.
I'm so completely numb and feel like I will never recover from this.
Thanks for all your nice words, it means a lot xxx

...oh no!... I so feel for you Noxious... I really do... I had to make an on-the-spot decision once whether to have my dog put down or not while he was on the actual operating table so I know how it feels to be in a sad situation like that... my condolences to you on behalf of the little fella... cheers.

I'm really sorry for your loss, Noxious, that is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for my post above yours as well, how insensitive of me.

Poor Bentley and of course yourself will both be in my thoughts. Losing a pet really is like losing a member of the family and so few people can truly share in your grief, although a lot of us have experienced it as well - I know I have. Bentley was only young, but you were lucky to have him for as long as you did, and of course he is lucky to have been given such a loving and caring home - something so many animals are afforded. xxxx
 
So Sorry [MENTION=1492]Noxious[/MENTION], sending you a great big loving hug. xx
I too lost a pup to Parvo, many, many years ago and was advised not to get another pup for a year, the reason being, that the virus in the soil can stay active for months.
I can understand your sadness and emptiness.
Beautifull pup with a beautiful name, Bentley Romeo Boston McQueen.
All my love, Topaz xx
 
Big hugs [MENTION=1492]Noxious[/MENTION], parvo is not nice at all. I agree with [MENTION=33651]Topaz[/MENTION] that it stays in the soil. It's in our area and from memory when our dogs had pups years ago, the vet said that they get their immunity from their mum's milk, but you have to be right on top of their vac's. So sorry to hear that they are trialling a new type of vac that is so substandard. Hopefully you can get the word out so no other puppies suffer. xx
 
Thanks so much everyone for your kind words, it's hard to believe he is gone.
jessy-girl your post wasn't insensitive, I love pugs too. I love all animals. And yeah I think I wouldn't feel safe in this house with another dog. I'd be terrified everyday. I know ill be ok eventually but today like last night I am a crying machine :(

Such sad news. I will be talking to my vet today to find what vaccination my Billy had. I just blindly take him each year at vaccination time and pay the bill. To be honest until today I never put much thought into it, I just assumed my vet knows best.

You will be okay, eventually, because the sun will keep rising and life will go on, but sadly that doesn't change your grief for today, nor does it change the fact you have to try and reconcile your Bentley is gone. Grief is the price we pay for love, and I have no doubt the love you feel for Bentley is what will see you though.

Please accept my condolences.

Sincerely
Tracey and Billy

I'm so sorry for your loss, Noxious. It's hard to believe how easily they wrap themselves around your heart.

TraLa, if your pup is older than a year he won't still be getting vaccinations for parvo, it would be for kennel cough. It's always better to check these things, though :)

So very sorry for your loss [MENTION=1492]Noxious[/MENTION]. Have you heard of the Rainbow Bridge?
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
 
I love that [MENTION=9058]qtkt[/MENTION] - it has always brought me comfort for all the pets I have lost over the years. I hope it can do the same for Noxious.
 
Hey Noxious, I hope this doesn't sound weird but when I lose someone I love, I like to buy myself something precious as a reminder and a token of the precious time I had with them, and that way on days when I need them I can have my token close to me, so it feels like they are with me.

Something as simple as the stone which represents the month Bentley was born, or the stone that represents the month you got him and have it in a pendent or a ring can be almost calming when you rub it for strength.

Oh my God!

How funny am I?

Even when grieving I can still find a reason to buy myself beautiful jewelry!!

Oh that is so beautiful. Of course I'm crying again but I can't wait for the day my boy runs so fast to me once my time is over. It makes death a little less scary knowing your best friend is waiting.

Actually it's not that weird. I'm actually getting Bentley cremated with pets at peace. And as well as the lovely wooden box with his name engraved on it for his ashes, I'm also getting a ladies bracelet that has a little space where some of his ashes can be put in. The pets at peace ppl do it all for you. So ill wear it everyday and he will be with me always.
 
Grab comfort whereever you can [MENTION=1492]Noxious[/MENTION]. Some people may find you wearing some of his ashes in a bracelet weird - and be crass enough to tell you so. If it works for you, do it! And one day the memories will bring you joy rather than sadness. It seems to me that Bentley is a very well loved little boy. His life was short - but I suspect it was very, very good.
