Answer 1

my dog was poisoned this past summer and passed away after six days of suffering; i didn't know until after she died what had happened. if i hadn't put her down on the sixth day, she would have started bleeding out her back end. is it possible your dog was poisoned or fed glass?
you can feel free to email me. it is devastating to lose a dog because we take it into our homes and in so doing we take responsiblility for the life of the animal. so, if it dies unexpectedly or mysteriously, we cannot help but feel responsible; what did we do wrong? what did we fail to do? i can only tell you that my dog was very important to our family, particularly my children and that when she was killed it was very difficult to cope for about a month. i felt guilty and my kids were grieving (and still are), and there was a great empty hole in our lives, physically and emotionally.
as to what to do with the dog, it is illegal to dispose of it in the trash. not to mention how you'll feel every time you remember cindy and where she ended up. we took bingo to the pound and payed for them to dispose of her(they cremate the animals or donate the bodies to the university, depending on the need)
Bingo was autopsied so she was cremated. you can also pay to have your dog cremated privately in my community. I remember years ago when my sister and her husband lost their dog they took it and buried it in a pioneer cemetary; don't think you have any of those where you are (you seem to be British judging by the term 'dustbin'), but do you have access to land that is already being used as a cemetary and would you be able to bury your dog there? see if there is somewhere accessible to you where you can bury her yourself; you'll feel much better
ask your mom to read these answers so she can realise how important it is to you to deal with cindy respectfully
you will remember her throughout your life and you want your memories to be as good as possible
feel free to email me and try to think about the positive of having had cindy rather than focussing on the loss of her

Answer 2

I am so sorry that your dog has died but she will not suffer anymore. Keep on crying it is good to clear the system of all tension. When my cat was ill I had to take her to the vet and stay with her while she was put to sleep. I cried so much that the vet was nearly crying herself and she gave my cat a second injection so that she would die quicker. It hurts so much that you think you are going to choke but when the worst is over you will be able to remember her with affection.
If you would prefer to bury her the vet should be able to put you in touch with the proper authorities.
I don't think I am allowed to give my e-mail address here but if you keep looking for 'leximp' I will reply to you.
You will always remember and love Cindy because I still think about a dog I had about 50 years ago. I do not cry now but I remember how upset I was at the time.
Take care and God Bless.

Answer 3

My dog died last June 11, 2005 and until now I miss him a lot. I am 30 and I still cry whenever I remember him. He's my bestfriend. It's ok to cry. But don't ever throw away her body in the dustbin. You should bury her or if there's no place to bury her, put her in a nice box with flowers before you dispose of her body. Never stop praying for her then when you least expect it she might show in your dreams like my dog. I saw him so happy in my dreams that deep inside I know he is happy wherever he may be.

Answer 4

Aw im sorry to hear this, this normally happens when something like the liver or other organ near the back end bursts. i know how you are feeling i have lost dogs in the past , the were fine one day and the next day they were dead : - (.

Dont put her in the bin, call or take her to the vets and they can either cremate her for you or dispose of you, as some councils are funny about burying animals in the garden because of you ever move. Some one sad that this is illegal, not sure many people know this tho

If you want to talk more then you ca email me , ok hunni, really sorry to hear this.

thinking of you xx

Answer 5

I can't believe this is a serious query. Your dog has been bleeding to death all night, you didn't call a Vet or take her to an emergency Vet surgery or call the RSPCA for help and you expect us to believe you are upset and your mother wants to put Cindy in the dustbin. I cannot believe either that your mother is so callous as to tell you to put her in the dustbin, which would be illegal anyway and your local Council would have a serious word with you. I am sorry your dog has died, but you may have been able to prevent it with a little thought for the dog's welfare. Please don't get another one.

Answer 6

The one thing in having a dog is the pain you experience when the dog passes.About the only thing that helps the pain fade is time alone. It would appear she may have had cancer of the bowel and a blood vessel let go and allowed her to bleed to death. Actually the dog would not have experienced pain if she bled to death she would get weak and go to sleep and just not wake up. There is no one that is as loyal to you as your dog, you certainly will miss her and just recall the fond memories you had with her .You gave for her as well and provided a good situation for her,fed her walked her and made her part of your family. You did all that could be expected of you, you will just have to bear the pain for a time but each day it will lessen, death is part of living as harsh as that may seem. I would place the body in her bed and put it in a cardboard box. Find a nice spot in the yard and bury her, that is exactly what I did. If the neighbours are the type to disagree just wait till it is dark and do it quietly. Don't let it eat you up, remember God loves you and cares for you and is pleased with how you treated one of His animals. Blessings.

Answer 7

Take peace in knowing that Cindy is now free from pain and in a better place. Give her a decent burial, in your garden, where you can be with her sometimes and talk to her.

I haven't been through this myself, but my family has, when their cat was hit by a car and the vet could do nothing for him.

Life... and death, can be so sad and traumatic at times, but I'm sure if you are able to pay tribute and talk to her, you will gradually come to terms with the fact that she's in a better place and that someday, you will be with her again.

Please do NOT put her in the dustbin. Wrap her gently in cloth and bury her.

Answer 8

Aww sweetie. I am sorry about Cindy.

We have a local pet cremation service which I believe is very popular. Maybe you could see if they have something similar near you. That way you can save her ashes or spread them in the back garden. It will make you feel better to know where she has gone rather than be put in the dustbin.

It will take time to get over it, a dog is very much one of the family. Think about all the good times you had together and find things to do to take your mind off it.

Answer 9

I just lost a cat named Cindy not too long ago and it was a living hell for me. You are going to be sad and crying for a good week, and little by little the pain will fade. I would be good if you eventually got another dog to take the place of Cindy. But, I am wondering, if your dog was bleeding, why was it not taken to the vet immediately?

Answer 10

Hi, I lost my best mate Kruger a year and a half ago; he had epilepsy and had took up a lot of my life looking after him. I buried him at a fav spot on a relatives farm, and straight away went on to 'foster' another sick animal. This filled my time and helped me feel needed again... and it helped me get over my pup's death. It does get easier... and you do start to smile and remember the funny and warm moments you spent together, so maybe go along soon to your local dog pound and see the litlle dog's who need a home, and the pain will ease, I promise :)
