Yesterday is still a blur 💔
I never saw the day playing out the way it did. I was confident, adamant even, that Rocky was going to be okay. I never would’ve guessed the extent of his underlying issues.
His foster knew right away that something wasn’t right. She noticed his labored, wheezing breathing and lethargy and immediately alerted us. His gums quickly turned white, he collapsed, and we rushed him to Carolina Veterinary Specialist Huntersville .
Rocky was in heart failure, along with other significant health issues, and his condition deteriorated incredibly fast. His foster did everything right. There was simply no way for any of us to know how quickly things would progress.
Our sweet boy crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. 🌈
We are heartbroken that his time with us was so short, but grateful that he knew love, comfort, and safety.
Run free, Rocky 🫶
