I lost my sweet little eLlIe today. She was having trouble this morning but it just seemed like her alergies were really acting up.
I took her to the emergency vet at 10:00am. They took x-rays etc ... inflamation in her neck but couldn't see anything else. They were going to give her stroids, wanted to watch her and probably pick her up at 3:00. Then they called and asked if ok to do blood work, then called back and said they wanted to sedate her and check her throat. Then they called back and told me she died. Still don't know exactly why.

Oh, Ruth, I am so sorry. I know that when you woke up this morning, you never expected to go to bed this evening without your Ellie. Even though it won't bring her back, I hope you can find out what was wrong with her. Maybe it was some kind of allergic reaction. My prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time of missing your baby girl. I'm sure she is running and playing now, and hopefully, that will bring you some small amount of comfort.
I feel like I've been punched in the stomach, I can't believe this news either. I am with Teresa, I hope they at least will be able to give you some answers. I am so sorry Ruth I know there is nothing more painful, we all love Ellie and she will be GREATLY missed!
I'm so sorry Ruth! So shocking to hear this! Our thoughts and prayers are with you right now!
So sorry, Ruth. It sure does sound like a severe allergic reaction to something. She will definitely be missed. Prayers going your way. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry to hear this.
Prayers for you and yours, and a safe trip to The Bridge for Ellie
Our hearts are saddened by Ellie's passing to the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to you, Ruth and know that we are here for you. God-Speed, Ellie-Angel...... :heart:

Oh no!!! How awful! I'm so sorry, Ruth. I wish I could give you a sympathy hug but we're far away. Please know I'm sharing your great sadness right now. I'll always remember Ellie as being funny and hairy. :(
So sorry to hear this! You will be in my prayers.
Sorry to hear this about Ellie. I know how heart wrenching this can be for you. I know you did all you could for your sweet girl, and you should too. Rest in peace sweet, sweet Ellie. :heart: :heart:

Ellie was a very special puppy and we all understand how much you are going to miss her!
Have fun Ellie now that you don't have those darn allergies to mess with and are with all the others at the bridge.

Love and Hugs
Roberta and Nick
Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts.
The vet found a "sizeable" tumor in/on/around her throat, maybe throid or salvery gland. Nothing had showed up in x-rays ..... and our vet had done x-rays before and scopes etc looking for reasons of her "alergies" .... nobody has said yet but I am thinking that she never had alergies but symptons from a tumor. My poor baby. A neighbor took me out to a farm and burried her this afternoon.
Ellie helped me through a broken neck and breast cancer ...... I guess nothing else can happen to me now.
Rest in Peace my little girl.
Ellie ... star of the day post http://www.wienerwritings.com/forum/index.php?topic=5860.0
On NO! How horrible and how sudden. I know you are beside yourself. I can't offer anything to make you feel any better...she was dearly loved, not only by yourself and all the members here who had a chance to share in her stories. God Speed, beautiful girl :heart:
Gosh who would have thought she had a tumor! The things that can happen to these little ones can be so horrific. I was just thinking that, how she helped you through your trials and how that makes the bond even stronger. I am so sorry, it's a shock that will take a long time to wear off for all of us, she was so young it isn't fair.
I am so so sorry for your loss. Ellie was one sweet little pupper. Cherish your memories and all the good times. Take care.......Kelly (Parker's Mom)

One of the first things I thought of was Ellie with her pink ribbon. You are right, nothing else can happen to you now! Take care of yourself and know we are all thinking of you.
Ruth, I'm so sorry to read this. I think Ellie's card sums her life with you very well. She sent you lots of love and I think she will continue to do that even from the Bridge.

Ruth, I'm so sorry to hear about Ellie's passing. She will be sorely missed.
OMG Ruth, I am stunned as I know you are. :comfort: I am so so sorry. I just loved your baby girl....she will be missed by us all. I know she will be watching over her mommy...... *hugs* to you Ruth....
:pray: Godspeed sweet Ellie...I will light a candle for you tonight.
We are so very sorry to hear of our loss and can hardly believe Elle has gone to the Bridge, what a terrible shock for you, your wonderful little girl will be very sorely missed. God Speed, Ellie angel. Our thoughts are with you, Ruth.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked to read that Ellie was gone. Words cannot express my sadness.
We are very sorry to hear about Ellie. We hope the pain of her loss will soon fade so that only the happy memories will remain. Ellie's pics and stories will live on in all of us. She joins a growing cast of beloved characters from WW who now reside at the Bridge.

She's resting now. Take care of yourself and know that all of us here are sharing your pain and loss.

I'm so sorry we missed this!! Your sweet girl will be missed. :heart:
Ruth..I just read this about your Ellie...I'm so sorry ...She was a sweet little girl and my heart goes out to you. She will be missed by everyone
Ruth, I am so sorry to come upon this so late. I am very sorry for your sudden loss of Ellie in October. If you've kept up with my situation better than I have with yours, you know I am down in my back, and that Rowan is beginning week three of 4 week-crate rest. I really need to keep up better, though. RIP, sweet Ellie, and I know you are enjoying your romps at the Rainbow Bridge!
Oh my gosh - I am so sorry for your loss. Sweet Ellie! Please know she is in great company across the rainbow bridge. Hope that helps a bit. Hugs to you big time.
