(8,148 posts)guilty. I know how that makes the heart-ache worse. You saved THREE babies. BB would not want
you to pain yourself with guilt. You did not make him sick.
We all no matter how misplaced blame something or someone when our beloved dies. And so often we blame us. This, we often see much later, was a response out of shock and grief.
You got him help. You saved THREE precious ones. You treated at home as we all have for awhile until you could bring him in. That is what we do at rescue shelters. That is what I tried to do with my doggie baby. We first care for at home.
You have had a profound loss. You will go over things, but you could not control everything. Always, always there are glitches in our reaction because of what we do not know at the time.
A terrible illness made your beloved BB sick. An illness took him.
You wanted him to live and did everything to make that happen.
Keep talking to folks about this. You will see none did all perfectly as they tried valiantly to help. You tried valiantly.
Blessings and condolences. May you feel BB still around you.
