I have lost my dog last night. I did everything I could but couldn't help. He was on treatment for tick fever. Anything happens during treatment I used to take him to vet & yet I regret few things. I din want to loose him at any cost. Now I can't really bear hes loss. All time I sit in other room & think of him. I can't have my meals also proper. Please tell me something to reduce my pain of loosing him. Thanks a lot & may God bless u people. You all were of great help to me during hes treatment

I am so sorry to hear about Scooby. You did everything you could do, he was just too sick. You might find it helpful to write him a letter- it has been very therapeutic for me in the past. I hope his memory keeps you smiling for many years to come. Thinking of you. Take care.
