Update from Jane on Potato

Thank you too all of you who found it in your heart to donate even a few dollars towards Potato Socks Spudnik III (the 3rd) and he fight for her life these last few days. You are all forever a part of the JanesGuns Family and I am forever grateful for your kindness.

As I last updated, we transfered her to the new vet at East Mountain Veterinary and being admitted for a little past 24 hours, within such time we found out that it was not only pneumonia that she was fighting against but also possible distemper as well, which the previous vet either missed or just neglected to tell us about. This explained her rapid neurological decline and inability to stand and all. We received a call yesterday about 4pm to say she was stable but showing no signs of improvement and actually now refuses to try and stand at all. We were hopeful. Then last night about 10pm we got a call from the number of the actual vet herself. She informed us that potato had experienced a very intense seizure at which time her heart stopped and although they tried they were unable to bring her back. Potato didn’t make it. I couldn’t finish the phone call and am really still unsure of call the details. I just know she’s gone.

I felt it was only right to update this to all of you who have donated and who I’m sure have loved and lost pets of your own which a few of you have shared those story’s with me. It’s goes without saying that there is no way to prepare for loosing one of them as they are like family and having experienced this I understand the position many of you donated from and I am forever grateful and sorry for your past losses as well.

While I felt awkward using this site to ask for the help I needed to get her into the vet, it showed me just how many people out there are so quick to come together for something that’s right, for a doggo in need. I am forever grateful that I not only created this site but that so many good people are able to use it and benefit from it as well. I owe you all a huge thank you and please know that your support, although in the end she didn’t make it, your donations made it possible for her to be comfortable untill that time and formed a foundation that made it much easier for me to pick up my heart from the ground today and begin to move on. I never thought it would be this hard.

I hope to really be able to put the time into this site that it deserves, as a thank you for those who are clearly great people using this site all the time. Bare with me, as I am obviously not in the best state of mind after loosing my pup. I will however always do my best to put the most effort in giving you all the platform you deserve.

Thank you and God bless you all.
