Hi all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for those who tried to help me last night and for all of your kind words after she passed.
After I posted that message here, I tried the emergency vet number again and got through. It was the Doctor who is actually my favorite at the clinic (she's newer there). Just as I got her on the phone and quickly told her what was happening through my tears, Carmel was in the living room with my husband and began screaming. I was begging and crying to the doctor to help me help her, but of course it was too late. I stayed in the hallway with the phone because from my husband's reaction, the end was hard to watch.
Then I was just sobbing when my husband told me that she was gone. The wonderful doctor was crying along with me. She is very kind, and today I feel bad that I had to drag her into a situation where nothing could be done, but I was scared.
My husband took the phone and spoke to the doctor for a minute so that he could understand what was happening to Carmel's body and sort of "confirm" she had passed. He thanked her a lot and then after I got sick from all of it, we went to Carmel's little body and I told her that I loved her and asked God to take good care of my baby.
So that's pretty much all. I miss my girl so very much. My heart aches when I look at her favorite spots in the house. But I know that there was joy at the Bridge last night when my sweet girl reunited with her one and only love bun, Buddy.
Thanks again to all for everything.
