Please don't beat yourself up. I am from a large family and know how impossible it is to Come up with thousands of dollars. He had the best life on your farm, a beautiful place and loving people. There are dogs in heaven and you will see him on the other side. Peace and love.
I have never seen your channel until I saw this video pop up. I have to say, I cried along with you! I just had to put my 12 yo dog to sleep 3 days ago. The pain is real! I've been depressed all week. I had a dog a long time ago that looked just like Sammy. He was my favorite dog, so it brought back a lot of memories of him. I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP beautiful Sammy!
@@TheCrazyFarmWifewe all know that you love this dog and I'm he knew that he was loved. You did everything you could . Have a big picture made of Sammy for your other dog to see and that will help with the mourning. And you can have a picture made for your family too. So sorry for your loss. You could even play videos of Sammy for the other dog. And pets it will help them to with the mourning and healing. Praying for you all take care
I do believe you were correct in that it was already too late by the time you found him. You only have about an hour give or take after it happens to get treatment before irreversible damage occurs. My mastihound had that happen to him. I realized it right at that point. I was dialing my vet as I was loading him in my car. I got there in 45 minutes. They rushed him to surgery and he was about 10 minutes from needing a blood transfusion. My surgery only cost 4200. I think 8000 is highway robbery. I'm so sorry for your loss. Pyrenees are such good dogs. My heart goes out to you and your family. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. From the sound of it the vet was lazy, pure and simple, I hope many people see this video and steer clear of him. Your furbaby is now in good health after crossing the Rainbow Bridge, he knows you did everything for him.
I am so sorry for your loss of that beautiful dog 🐕 That place the vets in Monroeville w.v. I will never ever go there. That was so cold and and mean spirited to not care enough to just let a family feel safe about their other animals. It's an autopsy not a whole funeral. They are supposed to be compassionate caring loving veterinarians so I thought. My mistake, I hope God hugs all of you and holds you close in your time of need and brings you some peace and comfort. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@theravenleichan2905I have lost both. Indeed super profound. Loosing my Son and the two pups after. Trinity and Spirit. We had Trinity when our son was still alive....we got a pup named Spirit and named her after my Son"s nearly a year anniversay after he died. But when Spirit died suddenly like this Sammy did...One day okay/One day not...similar to our Son's passing. It became again Profound. Our Trinity (an all white husky)...Sammy reminds me of her. But when Spirit died....She seemed a farewell to the held and cherished, support, and gift of presence to help us heal of our Son's departure and capture of his Spirit. In fact, as our dear Spirit pup siezed up and as I cried in her fur....I told her to "go find Stanley" our Son. To go find "Trinity, our White Angel Husky" They found Spirit and she greeted Jesus with them as Trinity skirted around and passed ahead of Jesus and ran right for her in an excited greeting. Spirit met our Son for the first time and the three of them became a Trinity.. In Heaven. Safe and well. Spirit....she had a big job to do with her life and she took us on with her whole heart...without question of how big the job was or how difficult it could be. She healed our broken hearts with her Love and left us with her Love in our hearts. Healing us, yet reminding us of Profound Love. God rest our Spirit. We miss her dearly.
I lost my 7 year old sheltie in June...I understand your loss...I am sorry! I miss him so much! You do the best you can and thank God for choosing you to love them! There is no a great long term success for turned stomach...it tends to reoccur. Blood in stool can also be caused by eating something that upsets the stomach, then as clearing from the body strain can cause blood. Not much blood but enough to notice.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My 5 year old beagle mix was recently diagnosed with nasal sarcoma and was devastated with the news. He was overall healthy and the cancer had not spread so I decided to proceed with radiation treatments despite just being laid off work and I’m happy to say he’s doing well. All the doctors and staff at UPenn were fabulous and treated him with loving care. Yes it was expensive and I’ll be in debt for a very long time but just wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I can understand your situation and agree he probably wouldn’t have made it through surgery so I think you did the right thing. Prayers for you and your family.
Dear heavenly Father please give this family some peace and love through this tough time let them know that your with them always. AMEN 🙏 you did what you had to do God understands and guides you through his plan.
Good for you for naming the vet so others can choose a GOOD vet. Sometimes a local university that has a vet school will do a necropsy much cheaper. So sorry for your loss. I have lost 12 dogs, several cats, 3 horses and a pony over the decades. Loved them all. Believe we will meet all our beloved pets in heaven. Look for the valley that has a sign that says 'Watch where you step'. We will all be there.
We had a Great Pyrenees for Fifteen years. The most loyal, loving dog We ever had. We loved Thomas, he was part of our family. He loved being outside even though he had his own building equipped with beds, heat for winter and fans for summer. He would even stay out in a thunderstorm even though he had a nice dry place to stay. We had goats and chickens etc. He was always watching over them, he was their protector. He loved our children and all the neighbors children, he would run and play chase with them and fetch the ball and lay around the grass with them while they visited. Somehow, he broke his back during a thunderstorm one night. We took him to the vet. At fifteen years of age the Vet said he had lived past most in his breed, and there was not much hope of fixing his back and suggested We let him go. It broke our hearts but We knew he was really suffering. We spent some sweet time with him for the last time and hugged him goodbye and held him speaking softly to him as he gently closed his eyes and left this world to cross the rainbow bridge. I think of him everyday when I go out to the garden, as he always greeted me at the back door. He was a gentle giant and We loved him dearly. We still miss him everyday.
New viewer. Your compassion speaks volumes. I wish a vet was professional & showed kindness in your hour of need. They show us unconditional love. Lessons we could all learn. Hugs mama
Please don't beat yourself up. It's obvious that you loved him and tried everything you could do. It's so hard to go through things like this. You have my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for you and your family to find peace and comfort each other with the knowledge you gave him a good life and lots of love.
This was sad to watch. So sorry about Sammy. Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog. Such a cutie. He's going to have beautiful puppies and have his attitude. Animals hide their pain til its too late. Sending love and prayers to you and your family. From AZ
I had an autopsy done on a horse and it was facilitated by the county animal shelter and the ag extension office. I bypassed the vet entirely. The county secured the vet. So sorry for your loss. I have working dogs on my farm. They are my right hand. Praying for peace for you
Awww Bless His heart ~ he crossed over the rainbow bridge… I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking. May God comfort and strengthen you through these difficult times🙏🏽👱🏻♀️🐾🐾🌹
🐶 Newbie to your channel…I am truly amazed at the strength and conviction you and hubby have shared taking on the responsibility of autopsying your beloved Sammy so as to verify cause of his sudden loss of life. Shame on those emergency vet offices as I once had resorted to such. They are extremely overpriced and in my humble opinion are more concerned with the mighty dollar then the human compassion of saving one’s beloved fur baby based on an individual’s ability to pay such outlandish fees. I’m humbled over your ability to have performed what truly had to have been a most heart wrenching task. Again I pray Sammy’s puppies will bring forth renewed hope.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve had Danes my entire life and have dealt with bloat a couple of times, and those symptoms looked very similar. Once the stomach flips, it releases toxins in the body, so you don’t have much time. My Dane had trouble walking and rapidly lost color in her gums, I couldn’t find her, she just went to pass. I was able to get to her in time and get her to vet. It’s very common with larger chest cavity dogs, as I think you said. I’ve been told to not feed or water and then let them run or pivot, for at least 30 minutes, which may be difficult to control with outdoor dogs. I’ve been told just a cup of water or food may do it if they take off directly thereafter. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had a newfoundland that this happened to. My vet told me to have a food bowl off the ground so it's almost head height to prevent it from happening again. Again, I'm sorry for the loss of Sammy.🐾💙
This was incredibly sad choked me up. I’m sorry you lost your friend he was a goofball I can tell he was special. I am so upset with what vets change it makes it impossible to treat an emergency . I know that you really loved him
Oh my gosh I’m sobbing hearing about the loss of your beautiful dog.I have two English golden retrievers who are my whole world.One is a senior girl and seems quite happy other than some bouts with arthritis occasionally.I can’t even imagine her not here . I have so much anxiety just thinking of when she won’t be by my side one day so my heart totally goes out to your family for such a heartfelt loss.I hope the new puppies will bless you with Sammy’s sweet spirit to comfort you all in this painful journey.🙏🏻🩷🌞
I'm the proud mama of an 11yr old Pomeranian/Chihuahua who is my heart. She seems to be healthy except for 2 lumps on her chest. One is soft and size of a golf ball. The other is now the size of a size of a grapefruit and firm . Vet has pulled out fluid from each and says they are lipomas. But I'm scared
Are pets are not just animals. . . . they are our friends, our loved ones, our family memebers, our sons, our daughters! And it hurts so incredibly bad when we unfortunately lose them! So sorry for your loss! I lost my dog May 2nd of this year & it hurts so bad still! Praise God I still have my kitties! Keep your dog Sammy alive in your memories & your heart👍🏻
My heart is absolutely shattered for you. Our first dog, Tasha, had a flopped stomach and we could not afford the surgery. We were devastated. I know what it's like to lose a member of the family.
I so feel your pain! I lost my chocolate lab to a twisted stomach in 2014. I spent $1200 to have him diagnosed. The surgery at that time was $2500 in addition to the money I had already spent. He lasted 3 days before I put him down. His last day was horrible and I couldn’t watch him suffer anymore! He had a full blown seizure/stroke. Heart wrenching to go through! I had a friend of the family who provided a resting place. Even today, over 10 years later it still hurts. Hate to see anyone have to go through the pain/trauma that I went through. May your puppy RIP.😎
I’m so very sorry. Losing a pet is heartbreaking. It’s especially difficult when you’re also losing a member of your work force. He seems like he was a wonderful dog. He reminds me of our Newfie/ Pyrenees cross. Just a big loveable teddy bear! You’re so fortunate to have all the footage of him! Hugs to you all. ❤
It's hard for some people to comprehend the decisions large dog owners have to make and should not pass judgement. I grieve with you and for you. God Bless you and your family both two legged and 4 legged. Good luck on the puppies when they arrive. Much love and prayers for you all.
I know it's been 9 days and I just watched your video My condolences to you and your family I truly know how u feel Prayers for your family Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
@@LauraE.9897 It costs 600 just to have a vet step foot on my farm. Explain where this cost comes from? This is taking advantage of peoplea emotions to their animals. Vets are as bad as chiropractors or dentists.
@@LauraE.9897 My vet worked 7 days a week. I would even go to her home to pick up meds in emergency situations. There was no excuse worthy from this vet in this post.
@@LauraE.9897 it is a true statement. They are monsters and the only descent caring vet is one that gave up their license. They are ALL in the business of doing as much harm as possible, and that is by the nature of Big Pharma that controls them all.
First and foremost, I’m so sorry for your loss. You tried your best to help your dog. Rest in that 💜.. one thing you should know though, is when your dog is I’ll, there blood pressure drops so you must keep them warm. That’s something you don’t know so please don’t blame yourself. You did your best. I’m sure Sammy knew you loved him. Vets are so expensive. Sometimes we have to make the tough decision to euthanize them for there comfort. Another thing is not to let them run around after a meal. That causes twisted stomach. Thank you for those beautiful videos. He is free 💙 no more pain
@Gabriëlla1976 she was waiting for her husband, who had the truck, to help her. HOW, was she supposed to lift Sammy herself and get him into a vehicle. That would have caused so much more pain and suffering. And remember, she has SIX young kids she would have to take with her, IF there is a 2nd vehicle. Plus, financially, if you don't have the money, what vet would do anything for Sammy? I tried to get a stray female cat fixed by a small town vet, to help it get into a home. The vet said it had to run all kinds of blood tests, and an EKG to make sure it was healthy enough for being spade, and that it would cost about $500 dollars! SO many vets are NOT there for the animals, there are only in it for whatever monies they can get out of it. I'm just saying, I can see how much compassion you had about Sammy, but maybe show a little for her as well. That is a horribly hard situation to be put into.
Im sorry for your loss. My sisters dog had the same symptoms and her dog ate a poisoned rat and got secondary poisoning. He also had blood coming out both ends and his necropsy confirmed a secondarry poisoning.
I’m SO SORRY you had to go through this!!! I’m a nurse & understand the need to do the necropsy. But, man! You are DEFINITELY a strong woman to do it on your own amazing dog. That had to be terribly difficult & painful to go through! I commend you VERY MUCH! Again, I’m very sorry for your loss & hope that the new puppies that are his will help heal your hearts! Blessings to you & your family & have a 🎄Merry Christmas!!🎄
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're right, it would have been too late. You did the right thing. Shame on that vet! It's all about the money these days with veterinarians. I've seen it, too. I'm glad you ultimately got the answers you needed.
Your dog was poisoned. Rat poison causes extreme bleeding and basically, any animal who ingests it bleeds to death. If not treated, the kidneys, liver, and heart can be affected but I don't know for sure if it would cause breakdown of the organs, which is what it sounds like was happening to Sammy. You said he was barking earlier on the day he was found near the fence. Could someone have come by and given him something laced with the poison? Has there been any other families who have had dogs or cats die recently under similar circumstances? Have you had issues with anyone concerning your dogs? I had a dog who went in to be spayed and as she was coming out of aneathesia, starting hemorrhaging from her mouth and nose. It was determined she had been rat poisoned,. We didn't know how but because she was used to running around (she had been a stray before I got her and I had her for about a month before this happened), the vet said she could have gotten into some trash that had it in it. I spent the next 30 days nursing her and making sure she got her daily vitamin k - which is the only treatment and can be expensive. If we had not caught it when we did (she got it in her within 24 hours of surgery), there would have been nothing we could do. I am so very sorry for your family's loss of Sammy. He looked like he was a very much loved teddy bear! I hope you find out for sure what happened to him and take the appropriate actions so you , or any other family - doesn't go through this again!
Hurry up and give him the charcoal. Her son gave her the charcoal and she continues talking. I would have shoved them in his mouth so fast. I hope she has more charcoal. Get off the phone and take care of your dog!
I don’t understand why she didn’t wanna bring her in when they could of possibly helped Sammy, but then gets upset after they waited for the dog to pass, on the basis of leaving the dog outside in the freezing cold to learn after the fact the cause. Of course a vet doesn’t wanna see a pet after the fact as an emergency visit when at that point it’s too late to even save the dog.
I really respect you, your husband, and your children. If I were facing the same hard decisions, I hope I would have made exactly the same choices that you did. God bless you all in your time of grieving and loss, and I know when the puppies arrive it will be very healing for everyone. You made a very special video, that other people should see and learn from, thank you. ❤🔥What a brave and special dog you are Sammy, thank you for being a teacher as well. ❤✨
Just seeing this video I could see when you first found him he had gone off to die. Dogs don't fear death. I'm sorry for your loss.. this is the toughest part of loving our fur babies.
I have just found your channel, and I'm so,so sad for you to have lost your stunning Sammie. It's never easy to say goodbye 👋 to your bestie like that. We have had our sad moments, too 😢, over time. It takes so long to get over the heartache . The arrival of a litter of puppies will help so much. Especially as he was their father. Sending love ❤️ and hugs 🫂 to you and your family. ❤💛💗
🐾 😢 I know the horrific pain of losing one’s fur baby. My heart aches for you as you share Sammy’s story. I pray that his offspring bring you comfort and eventually renewed joy.
I am sooo very sorry for your great loss 😭 and the very difficult experience you went through with your dear Sammy. I nearly died from Covid in 2021, I am a ventilator survivor and my entire world imploded after that horriffic nightmare. My two fur babies were thankfully taken care of by my wonderful friend who took amazing care of them while I was in the hospital for 48 days and had to recuperate for several months after. He had them for almost 4 months. Prior to me getting sick, my beloved Jack Russell Maya had been having issues with her front paws being swollen. I had taken her to several vets that could never find out what was wrong and just said it was inflammation and prescribed Metacam. Her bloodwork then was all ok. I was giving her that and it seemed to help some. She was healthy in every other way. I had taken her to a supposed Holistic vet just before I got sick and did another blood test that was fine. He prescribed Loxicom which is like Metacam. My friend was giving her that while they were in his care throughout my terrible situation. my girls were very sad and confused to where I had gone to and why they were staying in someone else’s home. When able to while in the hospital, I facetimed with my friend so that they could hear my voice and so that I could see them and how they were doing. They were very depressed before the facetime videos but after I could see that their moods picked up once they heard my voice. They were still confused but happier. That made my heart swell with happiness since I could not be with them. 4 months later when I came home, I had them back finally. What an incredible reunion but Maya seemed worse. I took her back to this “holistic vet” and told him what had happened to me and that money was very tight and could he help me out with her care until I could get back to work. He was a complete jerk and did not care at all about my story or situation nor cared at all about helping my baby girl. My friend offered to pay the $250 for her bloodwork and this time it came back very bad. She was in kidney failure and when the vet actually called to give me the results, he very coldly said “Maya unfortunately has kidney failure and she will prob. only last a month!! If you need me to help her cross over, give me a call!!” That was it 😱 no I am sorry, nothing!! And that would be another few hundred $ 😡 She passed in my arms 2 weeks later 😭 I researched Loxicom and Metacam and they can cause kidney failure so be very careful if you use them for your beloved pets!! It’s the same for us taking Acetaminophen which hurts our kidneys. I know your pain of feeling helpless to help your beloved family member. Vets should care about saving pets, not only about the almighty $$ especially since we are all struggling these days in this crazy world and cannot afford these astronomical prices to help save our pets!! It is soo disgusting 😡 God bless you and I am sending you healing light and love ❤
Just found your video and I cried my heart out! He reminds me so much of my deceased boy (the baby in my logo picture). It took lots of strength from you to make this video for us to see. You are a beautiful sweet and smart lady. Your family and farm are beautiful! Hope you'll get a little Sammy replica!
Sorry for your loss. In the future please, please get a vet consult and pain relief as the bare minimum with any animal who looks as sick as he did. Beautiful boy - rest in peace
I am so sorry for you and your families loss! Thank you for sharing him with us when he was healthy at the end! I hope you leave a comment about this on the vet page that turned you down! Everyone should know what they are not doing and that they really don’t care!
I am so, so sorry. Words just don't make the pain better. He was a beautiful & smart soul. He will always be around you and the Rainbow Bridge. I still talk to my Ginger. I do because the morning after she passed, I was crying and trying to drink my coffee when I heard her bark... it was the one for going outside. People say I have lost it, but ya know... it made me feel better, and now my tears for her don't hurt so bad. I hope the days are getting better for you and your family soon.
I’m so sorry for your loss. They’re not just pets, they’re family. It’s so sad what happened to your baby. Prayers for you in the days and weeks ahead.💙🐶💙🙏🏼
It was definitely too late by the time you found him…. I am so sorry for your loss and I am so glad that you were able to be with him at the end. It can be so hard raising and loving animals. ❤️🩹 May this tragedy serve the purpose of learning and understanding. Thank you for sharing with everyone. Praying for your family!
We just lost our 5 year old Border Collie to gall bladder and kidney cancer! He was sick for two days and was going into shock when we went to the ER Vets! $3,000 later we relieved him of his pain instead of putting him through anymore torture! He was rescued from a puppy mill 4 years ago! He had been treated horribly! He loved having a home and a yard and sisters! Two sisters passed and we adopted him a little brother to play with! They'd play for hours! He was so kind and he would go from room to room to lay in his special spots! We were honored to adopt him and wanted more time with him! He was a kind, quiet, shy and very well behaved boy! His foster mom said he was an angel!
I'm so sorry for your loss,n I'm sorry for my earlier comments but at the time I didn't know how far vets were and it was Saturday. Sammy was a beautiful dog. RIP Sammy
I own two greyhounds and their bowls are raised off the ground. I also never feed them straight after a walk and also keep them quiet for at least an hour after eating.
I have a 17 year old dog and I dread that last time I will see him. I'm now 76 and we have been together since his birth. I am soooo sorry for your loss. He's happy and healthy in heaven, in God's care. God bless you and your family.
Bless your heart sweety. I'm praying for your family. And all your critters. My vet told me to bring the feed bowl off the ground and somehow get it lifted. We tied the dog bowls up onto the fence. So now the feed bowls are off the ground. We lost a wonderful dog because of twisted stomach. Great White.😢
Idk how you got thru all of this....Im wish you a great new year with much love and hope in the future. Better things are coming,and your doing great.This video had me in tears.rip ...such a goodboy. boy...
I'm so sorry for your loss and the way you were treated. You did everything you could to save him with the knowledge that you had at the time. Your Sammy knew he was loved very dearly and I pray your family heals from this tragedy.
Ma'am...I'm almost 60...my mom raised us with lots of animals...cats dogs chickens goats rats ducks hamsters birds...I've lost a lot of pets over my life..I miss them all...some more than others but all of them just the same...all you can do is appreciate the affection and appreciation of your companionship and try and remember the joy they brought you. Animals who have felt the real love of a human give back so much more than they are given..you'll feel each loss as the family member that they were...savor the present..sorry for your loss...God bless
@sarabailey8162 Yes my mom loved rats. She had two different domesticated rats. She named both of them Missy. Unfortunately they both died from the same thing. Brain tumors. They were both very gentle and tame. They absolutely loved my mom and were very attached to her. Extremely intelligent and very clean. As long as the cage was kept clean they always did their business in the same corner. She felt both their losses deeply. Like every other animal we eventually lost. They each gave her 2 good years.
@BobPelot-v9x aww that's very sad and sweet. I'm sorry for everyones loss. But it's good that you guys kept clean and everything to take as much care as you can!!
I’m praying for you and your family in this time of need. Please God give this family peace and comfort in their hurting and mourning. This is absolutely horrific and so sad about the vet not wanting to help because he just didn’t want to.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Great Pyrenees 3 weeks ago on a Sunday, twisted stomach. I am still crying, but my boy Max is worth every tear as I'm sure your boy is too
I was wondering the same idea of your dog being hit or kicked. He would be super protective of your children and other animals. Could have been in a fight to protect the farm.
I just found your page and I'm so sorry for your family's incredibly hard loss!! I could not even begin to imagine having to do a necropsy on one of my own dogs, and I pray that you and your husband are able to find peace with that specific memory being tucked far away. That said I really hope you see this comment bc I'm a Great Dane mom and bloat is super common for these giants. So I wanted to share with you that it is SO Important to make the dogs rest for 30-45 minutes Before And After Every Meal!! When they've been running and are panting hard, that's one of the most common ways bloat occurs. Also, GET GAS-X capsules ASAP and keep them close!! Any time your babies eat something that could cause gas, such as fatty/greasy type leftovers or something like that, give them 2 Gas-X capsules. They're super tolerant of the medicine in Gas-X so they can have it as often as needed and I've honestly lost count of how many Great Danes lives I've seen it save!! Sending hugs and prayers y'alls way!! 🥰🙏🏼🐾
I'm so sorry this is heartbreaking. My big boy, Hooch died from a twisted stomach. He was a Great Dane lab mix and was 10 years old. When I took him to the vet at 5:30AM, he told me he would need surgery. Like you he told me it would be around 5 grand but he wouldn't do the surgery, I would have had to take him to a specialist 50 miles away. I was 68 year old widow and don't drive out of town. I made the decision to go ahead and have him euthanized. It's was a very hard decision but he was in so much pain. Sorry for your loss, Prayers
I’ve never seen your content before, but you’ve got me bawling my eyes out at 12:30am 😢 No one who’s been thru the desperation of wanting a pet to get better but ultimately losing them could remain dry eyed. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss, Sammy seemed like a wonderful dog
I'm so sorry for your loss. We just lost our Pomeranian three weeks ago and we miss him so much. My husband told me he watched a video about how to put a dog with twisted stomach on his back and shake him back and forth. The man in the video watched the vet do it. Sammy is in paradise now in a better place. Prayers 🙏
This exact same thing happened with my big dog. I absolutely hate talking about it, but before we even notice anything was wrong he looked really sad and just did not seem himself while I was at school, and my parents had noticed that his stomach was getting a little bit bigger than normal And they went to the store to get stuff for like things that they thought it would be but when they got back and it just got even bigger he also had the same symptoms pooping blood, and just losing a lot of blood so they rushed him to the vet, but they said that we didn’t know they could save him. It was very devastating so so I completely feel everything you’re going through and I’m so sorry he was also one of our best dogs. He was so good with kids and he was so sweet and so cuddly and attached to our family
Losing a family pet in this manner is tragic for everyone! Never feel guilty for not being able to pay those exorbitant prices for our pets. He had a wonderful life with your family and was loved. The puppies coming soon will ease the pain and the children will remember him through them too! All the best!
My heartfelt condolences. Run free in the beautiful fields of heaven sweet Sammy. 🌈🐕💙 When Sammy got to heaven he asked god if he was a good boy. God replied no you were the BEST boy. 💙
My heartfelt condolences to you and family for the loss of Sammy. You did everything you were able to. This is heartbreaking all the way around. Hugs and love sent to you from Oregon ❤❤❤❤
My Wife and I are heart sick over your loss. You'll grieve for a long time. We cry every time ( daily ) over our losses. Sammy will be sorely missed. 😢
Awww babygirl.....😢I'm soo soooo sorry for your loss of Sammy, I can see, he was such a sweet loveable baby..I am tearing with you..ik its hurts so much bc he was part of your family and you all loved him with all your hearts. He put a smile on my face, when he had his bowl in his mouth prancing..( he knew he was speical) What we got thru for our fur babies...been there many of times. But, that's life. The cute ways of Sammy, will get you all thru the ruff days. By the way how old was he? My 2 labs were 18 and 19 years old, when we put them to sleep. How is Storm and the pups ? Good I hope, how many did she have and you all keep? Any looking or acting like Sammy??? not wanting one 🤔 . Well, ik farm life is always calling, hope all is good and try, no...Have a Happy New Year! 🎉 4 ever ❤ Sammy ..
I agree it would probably not have saved him with surgery. He looked far down when u found him. I am sorry for your loss. He looked like he knew u were there to comfort him. Animals know.
I just saw your video about losing your precious Sammy. I am so very sorry for your loss. I saw how attached you were to him. My heart broke for you and your family. That vet was awful! Even worse that you guys did necrospy. But its understandable why you had to do it. If anyone says something about you guys not paying so much money for the surgery, please don't mind them and their judgements! You did all that you could for Sammy. God bless you and your family. I'm sending you lots of hugs, all my love, and my prayers too. You could tell how Sammy was so happy to be part of your family and your farm. ❤❤💔 You just got a new sub too.
Anytime a large dog eats or drinks a lot at one time puts them at risk for bloat. And yes, they can be saved. My vet told me there were no guarantees that my baby would survive after running him from vet to vet, but he did survive! It was expensive, but through financing I was able to make the monthly payments. ❤
From a tiny bit of experience in working along side a vet. I've seen twisted stomach cause bleeding from the mouth AND the pooping of blood. It's sad, and I'm so sorry for your loss.
Always take to a vet dont give any medication and if you don't know what it is, and if they may require surgery, give nothing to eat or drink. I'm sorry sorry for your loss of Sammy. May he RIP, and may God have met him at the pearly gates and welcomed him home. I think by keeping the puppies you will still have Sammy around and help raise his babies after all he is an angel. 26:2126:2226:23
I’m in Greene county pa. Did you try Waynesburg animal hospital? I grew up with Jennifer( the lead vets daughter) and have her direct line. If you ever have someone deny you an autopsy again call them. She will do it. She’s truly good and cares deeply for animals.
@@TheCrazyFarmWife that’s really strange. We just had one done on a husky there a few years ago. I know it’s tough and sad, but I’m glad you guys did it yourself. You did right by your dog and your other animals. I would say if you ever have a pressing issue like that call Waynesburg and ask to speak to Jennifer directly or really push the issue. They may have changed their procedures but I’m not sure. They’ve been absolute life savers for us. I know there is canon hill that does farm calls as well and Leah (I forget her last name) but she is incredible. Not sure who you use. The lack of access to vets is truly a crisis in this country. Especially when so many medications and types of equipment they won’t let us have unless we get it through a vet!
$8000 is hi-way robbery you did what you could and did no wrong. Your hearts will feel this loss forever and time will help you cope with the pain and remember the joy more often that Sammy brought to your lives.
You should take them to a vet right away.Like getting something to eat and like look at the back of the spotty lip lick on his stomach and then get something to eat and then take him to the vet
So very sorry for your loss sweetheart, Oh, I was holding back tears 😢, I've lost a few beloved fur babies and its never...easy. I wish I could hug you... You and your family are in my prayers....❤
I feel your pain sister. I had the love of my life furbaby die horribly. It’s been two years and it still hurts just as bad. It’s nothing like the loss of animals you raise for food. Big hugs to you and your family and take the time you need to morn him.
I’m sorry for your loss. Your children were so sweet the way they honored him.
Thank you
Please don't beat yourself up. I am from a large family and know how impossible it is to
Come up with thousands of dollars. He had the best life on your farm, a beautiful place and loving people.
There are dogs in heaven and you will see him on the other side. Peace and love.
I have never seen your channel until I saw this video pop up. I have to say, I cried along with you! I just had to put my 12 yo dog to sleep 3 days ago. The pain is real! I've been depressed all week. I had a dog a long time ago that looked just like Sammy. He was my favorite dog, so it brought back a lot of memories of him. I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP beautiful Sammy!
I'm so sorry for your loss!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your families furbaby. You did nothing wrong and remember all the great memories with him.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
@@TheCrazyFarmWifewe all know that you love this dog and I'm he knew that he was loved. You did everything you could . Have a big picture made of Sammy for your other dog to see and that will help with the mourning. And you can have a picture made for your family too. So sorry for your loss. You could even play videos of Sammy for the other dog. And pets it will help them to with the mourning and healing. Praying for you all take care
I do believe you were correct in that it was already too late by the time you found him. You only have about an hour give or take after it happens to get treatment before irreversible damage occurs. My mastihound had that happen to him. I realized it right at that point. I was dialing my vet as I was loading him in my car. I got there in 45 minutes. They rushed him to surgery and he was about 10 minutes from needing a blood transfusion. My surgery only cost 4200. I think 8000 is highway robbery. I'm so sorry for your loss. Pyrenees are such good dogs. My heart goes out to you and your family. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss.
From the sound of it the vet was lazy, pure and simple, I hope many people see this video and steer clear of him.
Your furbaby is now in good health after crossing the Rainbow Bridge, he knows you did everything for him.
Im so sorry for your loss ..❤..
I am so sorry for your loss of that beautiful dog 🐕
That place the vets in Monroeville w.v. I will never ever go there. That was so cold and and mean spirited to not care enough to just let a family feel safe about their other animals. It's an autopsy not a whole funeral. They are supposed to be compassionate caring loving veterinarians so I thought. My mistake, I hope God hugs all of you and holds you close in your time of need and brings you some peace and comfort. ❤❤❤❤❤
I could feel you sense of relief when your hubby arrived I feel the same with mine. He’s a trooper way he carried him off. I’m so sorry huni xx
Grieve of a pet can be equal to losing a person if not worse because of unconditional love,you are blessed to have him
That's what people say when they've never lost a child. Believe me it's so different.
@@theravenleichan2905I have lost both. Indeed super profound.
Loosing my Son and the two pups after. Trinity and Spirit. We had Trinity when our son was still alive....we got a pup named Spirit and named her after my Son"s nearly a year anniversay after he died.
But when Spirit died suddenly like this Sammy did...One day okay/One day not...similar to our Son's passing. It became again Profound. Our Trinity (an all white husky)...Sammy reminds me of her. But when Spirit died....She seemed a farewell to the held and cherished, support, and gift of presence to help us heal of our Son's departure and capture of his Spirit. In fact, as our dear Spirit pup siezed up and as I cried in her fur....I told her to "go find Stanley" our Son. To go find "Trinity, our White Angel Husky" They found Spirit and she greeted Jesus with them as Trinity skirted around and passed ahead of Jesus and ran right for her in an excited greeting.
Spirit met our Son for the first time and the three of them became a Trinity.. In Heaven. Safe and well. Spirit....she had a big job to do with her life and she took us on with her whole heart...without question of how big the job was or how difficult it could be. She healed our broken hearts with her Love and left us with her Love in our hearts. Healing us, yet reminding us of Profound Love.
God rest our Spirit. We miss her dearly.
@@theravenleichan2905 I was just going to say that. Today is the one year anniversary of my 4 month old boys death. Worst devastation.
@@theravenleichan2905I assume children are the exception to what they said🤍
I lost my 7 year old sheltie in June...I understand your loss...I am sorry! I miss him so much! You do the best you can and thank God for choosing you to love them! There is no a great long term success for turned stomach...it tends to reoccur. Blood in stool can also be caused by eating something that upsets the stomach, then as clearing from the body strain can cause blood. Not much blood but enough to notice.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My 5 year old beagle mix was recently diagnosed with nasal sarcoma and was devastated with the news. He was overall healthy and the cancer had not spread so I decided to proceed with radiation treatments despite just being laid off work and I’m happy to say he’s doing well. All the doctors and staff at UPenn were fabulous and treated him with loving care. Yes it was expensive and I’ll be in debt for a very long time but just wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I can understand your situation and agree he probably wouldn’t have made it through surgery so I think you did the right thing. Prayers for you and your family.
Dear heavenly Father please give this family some peace and love through this tough time let them know that your with them always. AMEN 🙏 you did what you had to do God understands and guides you through his plan.
AMEN GBY.
Amen! I love your beautiful prayer to our amazingly loving Father❣️
@@laurieanne. God bless you for your appreciation. This is a sign God heard my prayer.
In Jesus name amen💐
@@S_Louisa AMEN GBY
Good for you for naming the vet so others can choose a GOOD vet. Sometimes a local university that has a vet school will do a necropsy much cheaper.
So sorry for your loss. I have lost 12 dogs, several cats, 3 horses and a pony over the decades. Loved them all. Believe we will meet all our beloved pets in heaven. Look for the valley that has a sign that says 'Watch where you step'. We will all be there.
We had a Great Pyrenees for Fifteen years. The most loyal, loving dog We ever had. We loved Thomas, he was part of our family. He loved being outside even though he had his own building equipped with beds, heat for winter and fans for summer. He would even stay out in a thunderstorm even though he had a nice dry place to stay. We had goats and chickens etc. He was always watching over them, he was their protector. He loved our children and all the neighbors children, he would run and play chase with them and fetch the ball and lay around the grass with them while they visited. Somehow, he broke his back during a thunderstorm one night. We took him to the vet. At fifteen years of age the Vet said he had lived past most in his breed, and there was not much hope of fixing his back and suggested We let him go. It broke our hearts but We knew he was really suffering. We spent some sweet time with him for the last time and hugged him goodbye and held him speaking softly to him as he gently closed his eyes and left this world to cross the rainbow bridge. I think of him everyday when I go out to the garden, as he always greeted me at the back door. He was a gentle giant and We loved him dearly. We still miss him everyday.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Beautiful, sad story. 😢❤
New viewer. Your compassion speaks volumes. I wish a vet was professional & showed kindness in your hour of need. They show us unconditional love. Lessons we could all learn. Hugs mama
Please don't beat yourself up. It's obvious that you loved him and tried everything you could do. It's so hard to go through things like this. You have my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for you and your family to find peace and comfort each other with the knowledge you gave him a good life and lots of love.
Thank you ❤️
This was sad to watch. So sorry about Sammy. Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog. Such a cutie. He's going to have beautiful puppies and have his attitude. Animals hide their pain til its too late. Sending love and prayers to you and your family. From AZ
I had an autopsy done on a horse and it was facilitated by the county animal shelter and the ag extension office. I bypassed the vet entirely. The county secured the vet. So sorry for your loss. I have working dogs on my farm. They are my right hand. Praying for peace for you
Awww Bless His heart ~ he crossed over the rainbow bridge… I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking. May God comfort and strengthen you through these difficult times🙏🏽👱🏻♀️🐾🐾🌹
🐶 Newbie to your channel…I am truly amazed at the strength and conviction you and hubby have shared taking on the responsibility of autopsying your beloved Sammy so as to verify cause of his sudden loss of life. Shame on those emergency vet offices as I once had resorted to such. They are extremely overpriced and in my humble opinion are more concerned with the mighty dollar then the human compassion of saving one’s beloved fur baby based on an individual’s ability to pay such outlandish fees. I’m humbled over your ability to have performed what truly had to have been a most heart wrenching task. Again I pray Sammy’s puppies will bring forth renewed hope.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve had Danes my entire life and have dealt with bloat a couple of times, and those symptoms looked very similar. Once the stomach flips, it releases toxins in the body, so you don’t have much time. My Dane had trouble walking and rapidly lost color in her gums, I couldn’t find her, she just went to pass. I was able to get to her in time and get her to vet. It’s very common with larger chest cavity dogs, as I think you said. I’ve been told to not feed or water and then let them run or pivot, for at least 30 minutes, which may be difficult to control with outdoor dogs. I’ve been told just a cup of water or food may do it if they take off directly thereafter. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had a newfoundland that this happened to. My vet told me to have a food bowl off the ground so it's almost head height to prevent it from happening again.
Again, I'm sorry for the loss of Sammy.🐾💙
Thank you and thank you for the advice ❤️
❤️
This was incredibly sad choked me up. I’m sorry you lost your friend he was a goofball I can tell he was special. I am so upset with what vets change it makes it impossible to treat an emergency . I know that you really loved him
Oh my gosh I’m sobbing hearing about the loss of your beautiful dog.I have two English golden retrievers who are my whole world.One is a senior girl and seems quite happy other than some bouts with arthritis occasionally.I can’t even imagine her not here . I have so much anxiety just thinking of when she won’t be by my side one day so my heart totally goes out to your family for such a heartfelt loss.I hope the new puppies will bless you with Sammy’s sweet spirit to comfort you all in this painful journey.🙏🏻🩷🌞
I'm the proud mama of an 11yr old Pomeranian/Chihuahua who is my heart. She seems to be healthy except for 2 lumps on her chest. One is soft and size of a golf ball. The other is now the size of a size of a grapefruit and firm . Vet has pulled out fluid from each and says they are lipomas. But I'm scared
That was beautifully said.
I'm so sorry.. I had a dog that I put down because twisted stomach. 😢
I feel you. Putting my 16 year old boy down on Monday 😢
That was indeed Beautifully said & very Comforting for her to look forward to. ❤️🦮🌈
Are pets are not just animals. . . . they are our friends, our loved ones, our family memebers, our sons, our daughters! And it hurts so incredibly bad when we unfortunately lose them! So sorry for your loss! I lost my dog May 2nd of this year & it hurts so bad still! Praise God I still have my kitties! Keep your dog Sammy alive in your memories & your heart👍🏻
My heart is absolutely shattered for you. Our first dog, Tasha, had a flopped stomach and we could not afford the surgery. We were devastated. I know what it's like to lose a member of the family.
I so feel your pain! I lost my chocolate lab to a twisted stomach in 2014. I spent $1200 to have him diagnosed. The surgery at that time was $2500 in addition to the money I had already spent. He lasted 3 days before I put him down. His last day was horrible and I couldn’t watch him suffer anymore! He had a full blown seizure/stroke. Heart wrenching to go through! I had a friend of the family who provided a resting place. Even today, over 10 years later it still hurts. Hate to see anyone have to go through the pain/trauma that I went through. May your puppy RIP.😎
I'm so sorry for your loss!
I’m so very sorry. Losing a pet is heartbreaking. It’s especially difficult when you’re also losing a member of your work force. He seems like he was a wonderful dog. He reminds me of our Newfie/ Pyrenees cross. Just a big loveable teddy bear! You’re so fortunate to have all the footage of him! Hugs to you all. ❤
It's hard for some people to comprehend the decisions large dog owners have to make and should not pass judgement. I grieve with you and for you. God Bless you and your family both two legged and 4 legged. Good luck on the puppies when they arrive. Much love and prayers for you all.
Thank you
@@TheCrazyFarmWife i'm sooo sorry for your loss
I know it's been 9 days and I just watched your video My condolences to you and your family I truly know how u feel Prayers for your family
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Prayers and hope your puppies are just as good as sammy was!!
It’s sickening how vets are. First they charge an arm and a leg. And then they don’t give a S about the animals. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you
@@LauraE.9897 The vet could have preserved the body UNTIL they could get to the necropsy.
@@LauraE.9897 It costs 600 just to have a vet step foot on my farm. Explain where this cost comes from? This is taking advantage of peoplea emotions to their animals. Vets are as bad as chiropractors or dentists.
@@LauraE.9897 My vet worked 7 days a week. I would even go to her home to pick up meds in emergency situations. There was no excuse worthy from this vet in this post.
@@LauraE.9897 it is a true statement. They are monsters and the only descent caring vet is one that gave up their license. They are ALL in the business of doing as much harm as possible, and that is by the nature of Big Pharma that controls them all.
First and foremost, I’m so sorry for your loss. You tried your best to help your dog. Rest in that 💜.. one thing you should know though, is when your dog is I’ll, there blood pressure drops so you must keep them warm. That’s something you don’t know so please don’t blame yourself. You did your best. I’m sure Sammy knew you loved him. Vets are so expensive. Sometimes we have to make the tough decision to euthanize them for there comfort. Another thing is not to let them run around after a meal. That causes twisted stomach. Thank you for those beautiful videos. He is free 💙 no more pain
Sorry for your loss 💔
She did nothing accept for filming his suffering. Why did you not drive to a vet with Sammy?!
@Gabriëlla1976 she was waiting for her husband, who had the truck, to help her. HOW, was she supposed to lift Sammy herself and get him into a vehicle. That would have caused so much more pain and suffering. And remember, she has SIX young kids she would have to take with her, IF there is a 2nd vehicle. Plus, financially, if you don't have the money, what vet would do anything for Sammy? I tried to get a stray female cat fixed by a small town vet, to help it get into a home. The vet said it had to run all kinds of blood tests, and an EKG to make sure it was healthy enough for being spade, and that it would cost about $500 dollars!
SO many vets are NOT there for the animals, there are only in it for whatever monies they can get out of it.
I'm just saying, I can see how much compassion you had about Sammy, but maybe show a little for her as well. That is a horribly hard situation to be put into.
Im sorry for your loss. My sisters dog had the same symptoms and her dog ate a poisoned rat and got secondary poisoning. He also had blood coming out both ends and his necropsy confirmed a secondarry poisoning.
Wow
I thought the same! Rat baits thin the blood and burn holes through the stomach lining... very unfortunate way to go. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Prayers for you and your family at this hard time!!❤❤
I’m SO SORRY you had to go through this!!! I’m a nurse & understand the need to do the necropsy. But, man! You are DEFINITELY a strong woman to do it on your own amazing dog. That had to be terribly difficult & painful to go through! I commend you VERY MUCH! Again, I’m very sorry for your loss & hope that the new puppies that are his will help heal your hearts! Blessings to you & your family & have a 🎄Merry Christmas!!🎄
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're right, it would have been too late. You did the right thing. Shame on that vet! It's all about the money these days with veterinarians. I've seen it, too. I'm glad you ultimately got the answers you needed.
Thank you
This makes me want to cry
Im so very sorry
.
Your dog was poisoned. Rat poison causes extreme bleeding and basically, any animal who ingests it bleeds to death. If not treated, the kidneys, liver, and heart can be affected but I don't know for sure if it would cause breakdown of the organs, which is what it sounds like was happening to Sammy. You said he was barking earlier on the day he was found near the fence. Could someone have come by and given him something laced with the poison? Has there been any other families who have had dogs or cats die recently under similar circumstances? Have you had issues with anyone concerning your dogs? I had a dog who went in to be spayed and as she was coming out of aneathesia, starting hemorrhaging from her mouth and nose. It was determined she had been rat poisoned,. We didn't know how but because she was used to running around (she had been a stray before I got her and I had her for about a month before this happened), the vet said she could have gotten into some trash that had it in it. I spent the next 30 days nursing her and making sure she got her daily vitamin k - which is the only treatment and can be expensive. If we had not caught it when we did (she got it in her within 24 hours of surgery), there would have been nothing we could do. I am so very sorry for your family's loss of Sammy. He looked like he was a very much loved teddy bear! I hope you find out for sure what happened to him and take the appropriate actions so you , or any other family - doesn't go through this again!
Agree sounds like poison not parvo or twisted stomach.
That was my thoughts… idk if there are neighbors close by and there are or have been any issues 😞
Hurry up and give him the charcoal.
Her son gave her the charcoal and she continues talking. I would have shoved them in his mouth so fast. I hope she has more charcoal. Get off the phone and take care of your dog!
Him being by the water does bear that out. Some rat poisons make the critters REALLY thirsty. They either die of poison or drowning. Poor Sammy.
I don’t understand why she didn’t wanna bring her in when they could of possibly helped Sammy, but then gets upset after they waited for the dog to pass, on the basis of leaving the dog outside in the freezing cold to learn after the fact the cause. Of course a vet doesn’t wanna see a pet after the fact as an emergency visit when at that point it’s too late to even save the dog.
I really respect you, your husband, and your children. If I were facing the same hard decisions, I hope I would have made exactly the same choices that you did. God bless you all in your time of grieving and loss, and I know when the puppies arrive it will be very healing for everyone. You made a very special video, that other people should see and learn from, thank you. ❤🔥What a brave and special dog you are Sammy, thank you for being a teacher as well. ❤✨
Thank you for your kind words
Just seeing this video I could see when you first found him he had gone off to die. Dogs don't fear death. I'm sorry for your loss.. this is the toughest part of loving our fur babies.
Awe! I’m so sorry!
They always seem to get better before they pass. But God knows when a sparrow falls. God created him and now he is resting.
I have just found your channel, and I'm so,so sad for you to have lost your stunning Sammie.
It's never easy to say goodbye 👋 to your bestie like that. We have had our sad moments, too 😢, over time. It takes so long to get over the heartache .
The arrival of a litter of puppies will help so much. Especially as he was their father.
Sending love ❤️ and hugs 🫂 to you and your family.
❤💛💗
I’m so sorry… Just remember you and your family gave him a loving home.
Ughhhh this broke my heart!!! Got me bawling right now. I'm so sorry for your loss 😭💔🙏🏼
🐾 😢 I know the horrific pain of losing one’s fur baby. My heart aches for you as you share Sammy’s story. I pray that his offspring bring you comfort and eventually renewed joy.
Thank you!
I am sooo very sorry for your great loss 😭 and the very difficult experience you went through with your dear Sammy. I nearly died from Covid in 2021, I am a ventilator survivor and my entire world imploded after that horriffic nightmare. My two fur babies were thankfully taken care of by my wonderful friend who took amazing care of them while I was in the hospital for 48 days and had to recuperate for several months after. He had them for almost 4 months. Prior to me getting sick, my beloved Jack Russell Maya had been having issues with her front paws being swollen. I had taken her to several vets that could never find out what was wrong and just said it was inflammation and prescribed Metacam. Her bloodwork then was all ok. I was giving her that and it seemed to help some. She was healthy in every other way. I had taken her to a supposed Holistic vet just before I got sick and did another blood test that was fine. He prescribed Loxicom which is like Metacam. My friend was giving her that while they were in his care throughout my terrible situation. my girls were very sad and confused to where I had gone to and why they were staying in someone else’s home. When able to while in the hospital, I facetimed with my friend so that they could hear my voice and so that I could see them and how they were doing. They were very depressed before the facetime videos but after I could see that their moods picked up once they heard my voice. They were still confused but happier. That made my heart swell with happiness since I could not be with them. 4 months later when I came home, I had them back finally. What an incredible reunion but Maya seemed worse. I took her back to this “holistic vet” and told him what had happened to me and that money was very tight and could he help me out with her care until I could get back to work. He was a complete jerk and did not care at all about my story or situation nor cared at all about helping my baby girl. My friend offered to pay the $250 for her bloodwork and this time it came back very bad. She was in kidney failure and when the vet actually called to give me the results, he very coldly said “Maya unfortunately has kidney failure and she will prob. only last a month!! If you need me to help her cross over, give me a call!!” That was it 😱 no I am sorry, nothing!! And that would be another few hundred $ 😡 She passed in my arms 2 weeks later 😭 I researched Loxicom and Metacam and they can cause kidney failure so be very careful if you use them for your beloved pets!! It’s the same for us taking Acetaminophen which hurts our kidneys. I know your pain of feeling helpless to help your beloved family member. Vets should care about saving pets, not only about the almighty $$ especially since we are all struggling these days in this crazy world and cannot afford these astronomical prices to help save our pets!! It is soo disgusting 😡 God bless you and I am sending you healing light and love ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss
New to the Channel. So sorry for the loss of Sammy. He looked like an awesome dog! R.I.P Sammy 🦮
Just found your video and I cried my heart out! He reminds me so much of my deceased boy (the baby in my logo picture). It took lots of strength from you to make this video for us to see. You are a beautiful sweet and smart lady. Your family and farm are beautiful! Hope you'll get a little Sammy replica!
Sorry for your loss. In the future please, please get a vet consult and pain relief as the bare minimum with any animal who looks as sick as he did. Beautiful boy - rest in peace
I did call our vet and she told me what it was right away.
@@TheCrazyFarmWife yes I know you phoned your vet as I watched your story but vet should have suggested pain relief :-(
I am so sorry for you and your families loss! Thank you for sharing him with us when he was healthy at the end! I hope you leave a comment about this on the vet page that turned you down! Everyone should know what they are not doing and that they really don’t care!
I am so, so sorry. Words just don't make the pain better. He was a beautiful & smart soul. He will always be around you and the Rainbow Bridge. I still talk to my Ginger. I do because the morning after she passed, I was crying and trying to drink my coffee when I heard her bark... it was the one for going outside. People say I have lost it, but ya know... it made me feel better, and now my tears for her don't hurt so bad. I hope the days are getting better for you and your family soon.
I’m so sorry for your loss. They’re not just pets, they’re family. It’s so sad what happened to your baby. Prayers for you in the days and weeks ahead.💙🐶💙🙏🏼
It was definitely too late by the time you found him…. I am so sorry for your loss and I am so glad that you were able to be with him at the end. It can be so hard raising and loving animals. ❤️🩹 May this tragedy serve the purpose of learning and understanding. Thank you for sharing with everyone. Praying for your family!
We just lost our 5 year old Border Collie to gall bladder and kidney cancer! He was sick for two days and was going into shock when we went to the ER Vets! $3,000 later we relieved him of his pain instead of putting him through anymore torture! He was rescued from a puppy mill 4 years ago! He had been treated horribly! He loved having a home and a yard and sisters! Two sisters passed and we adopted him a little brother to play with! They'd play for hours! He was so kind and he would go from room to room to lay in his special spots! We were honored to adopt him and wanted more time with him! He was a kind, quiet, shy and very well behaved boy! His foster mom said he was an angel!
@@daveshoemaker7137 I'm so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss,n I'm sorry for my earlier comments but at the time I didn't know how far vets were and it was Saturday. Sammy was a beautiful dog. RIP Sammy
I am so sorry. I agree that surgery would have been too late.
I have heard that it helps to feed bigger dogs from a bowl off the ground on a stand
@@biddiemutter3481 thank you
I own two greyhounds and their bowls are raised off the ground. I also never feed them straight after a walk and also keep them quiet for at least an hour after eating.
Sorry for your loss I've lost several furbabies over the years they will always be missed but they knew they were loved and your Sammy did too.
Aweee I’m so sorry !! I know how hard it is to lose a fur baby!! Beautiful dog!! Prayers for your family!!🙏🐾🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't ever apologize for doing the best you can. Sending love and light to you and your family.
I have a 17 year old dog and I dread that last time I will see him. I'm now 76 and we have been together since his birth. I am soooo sorry for your loss. He's happy and healthy in heaven, in God's care. God bless you and your family.
I’m so very sorry for your loss, I cried with you 😢 you and your family are in my prayers 🙏
Bless your heart sweety. I'm praying for your family. And all your critters. My vet told me to bring the feed bowl off the ground and somehow get it lifted. We tied the dog bowls up onto the fence. So now the feed bowls are off the ground. We lost a wonderful dog because of twisted stomach. Great White.😢
Thank you for the advice! I'm so sorry for your loss
Idk how you got thru all of this....Im wish you a great new year with much love and hope in the future. Better things are coming,and your doing great.This video had me in tears.rip ...such a goodboy. boy...
I’m sorry for your loss.
Love and prayers from Kentucky, Lesley and medical service dog Linkin.
I'm so sorry for your loss and the way you were treated. You did everything you could to save him with the knowledge that you had at the time. Your Sammy knew he was loved very dearly and I pray your family heals from this tragedy.
Ma'am...I'm almost 60...my mom raised us with lots of animals...cats dogs chickens goats rats ducks hamsters birds...I've lost a lot of pets over my life..I miss them all...some more than others but all of them just the same...all you can do is appreciate the affection and appreciation of your companionship and try and remember the joy they brought you. Animals who have felt the real love of a human give back so much more than they are given..you'll feel each loss as the family member that they were...savor the present..sorry for your loss...God bless
Hold on hold on did I see- rats??? In there??? What???? But I'm disappointed in some vets bc some people don't care for animals
@sarabailey8162 Yes my mom loved rats. She had two different domesticated rats. She named both of them Missy. Unfortunately they both died from the same thing. Brain tumors. They were both very gentle and tame. They absolutely loved my mom and were very attached to her. Extremely intelligent and very clean. As long as the cage was kept clean they always did their business in the same corner. She felt both their losses deeply. Like every other animal we eventually lost. They each gave her 2 good years.
@BobPelot-v9x aww that's very sad and sweet. I'm sorry for everyones loss. But it's good that you guys kept clean and everything to take as much care as you can!!
So heartwarming words. I feel the same for all the pets i had. 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is heart wrenching. May God Bless your family. ❤
So sorry for your family's loss. It's heartbreaking. God Bless you.
Hello, i’m new to your channel. I am so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog . Love and prayers to your family.❤
I’m praying for you and your family in this time of need. Please God give this family peace and comfort in their hurting and mourning. This is absolutely horrific and so sad about the vet not wanting to help because he just didn’t want to.
So very sorry for your loss. We have a Pyrenees mix so I totally understand how he was special.
How sad. I’m so sorry.. 😢 shame on that vet. You need to know! Take comfort knowing it was too late . 💜😘
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Great Pyrenees 3 weeks ago on a Sunday, twisted stomach. I am still crying, but my boy Max is worth every tear as I'm sure your boy is too
I'm so sorry for your loss!
Praying for your family through this time.❤
Someone might have hit him with a car and if so it could have did some internal damage. So sorry for your loss
Thank you
I was wondering the same idea of your dog being hit or kicked. He would be super protective of your children and other animals. Could have been in a fight to protect the farm.
When she said he was by the road barking I thought the same about him getting hit by a car.
Very likely since she said she heard him barking by the road.
@@lisafoote482 he couldn't have been hit by a car because he never got out of the fence
I just found your page and I'm so sorry for your family's incredibly hard loss!! I could not even begin to imagine having to do a necropsy on one of my own dogs, and I pray that you and your husband are able to find peace with that specific memory being tucked far away.
That said I really hope you see this comment bc I'm a Great Dane mom and bloat is super common for these giants. So I wanted to share with you that it is SO Important to make the dogs rest for 30-45 minutes Before And After Every Meal!! When they've been running and are panting hard, that's one of the most common ways bloat occurs.
Also, GET GAS-X capsules ASAP and keep them close!! Any time your babies eat something that could cause gas, such as fatty/greasy type leftovers or something like that, give them 2 Gas-X capsules. They're super tolerant of the medicine in Gas-X so they can have it as often as needed and I've honestly lost count of how many Great Danes lives I've seen it save!! Sending hugs and prayers y'alls way!! 🥰🙏🏼🐾
I'm so sorry this is heartbreaking. My big boy, Hooch died from a twisted stomach. He was a Great Dane lab mix and was 10 years old. When I took him to the vet at 5:30AM, he told me he would need surgery. Like you he told me it would be around 5 grand but he wouldn't do the surgery, I would have had to take him to a specialist 50 miles away. I was 68 year old widow and don't drive out of town. I made the decision to go ahead and have him euthanized. It's was a very hard decision but he was in so much pain. Sorry for your loss, Prayers
I am so sorry for your loss
I can not even imagine how you and your family feel I’m am literally crying as well I wish you the best of luck I hope you can stay strong
Im so sorry for your loss! May our Father in Heaven comfort you at this time! Lots of love to you and your beautiful family! 🥰🤗
I’ve never seen your content before, but you’ve got me bawling my eyes out at 12:30am 😢 No one who’s been thru the desperation of wanting a pet to get better but ultimately losing them could remain dry eyed. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss, Sammy seemed like a wonderful dog
Ditto....
I'm so sorry for your loss. We just lost our Pomeranian three weeks ago and we miss him so much. My husband told me he watched a video about how to put a dog with twisted stomach on his back and shake him back and forth. The man in the video watched the vet do it. Sammy is in paradise now in a better place.
Prayers 🙏
I'm sorry for your loss. And thank you for the advice. I never knew you could do that for a twisted stomach
I've seen this done with dairy cows. Never thought of trying it on a dog. t@TheCrazyFarmWife
This exact same thing happened with my big dog. I absolutely hate talking about it, but before we even notice anything was wrong he looked really sad and just did not seem himself while I was at school, and my parents had noticed that his stomach was getting a little bit bigger than normal And they went to the store to get stuff for like things that they thought it would be but when they got back and it just got even bigger he also had the same symptoms pooping blood, and just losing a lot of blood so they rushed him to the vet, but they said that we didn’t know they could save him. It was very devastating so so I completely feel everything you’re going through and I’m so sorry he was also one of our best dogs. He was so good with kids and he was so sweet and so cuddly and attached to our family
Losing a family pet in this manner is tragic for everyone! Never feel guilty for not being able to pay those exorbitant prices for our pets. He had a wonderful life with your family and was loved. The puppies coming soon will ease the pain and the children will remember him through them too! All the best!
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
I’m SO SORRY…..may you be given healing and peace 🙏🙏🙏
My heartfelt condolences. Run free in the beautiful fields of heaven sweet Sammy. 🌈🐕💙
When Sammy got to heaven he asked god if he was a good boy. God replied no you were the BEST boy. 💙
So sorry for your loss! He knows that he was loved! RIP Sammy!!! Prayers for your family!
Be blessed little pup❤
My heartfelt condolences to you and family for the loss of Sammy. You did everything you were able to. This is heartbreaking all the way around.
Hugs and love sent to you from Oregon ❤❤❤❤
Soo sorry for the loss of your family's member and they are.😢 I pray that you will have peace with the new babies you have and they look like Sammy❤
Your Sammy is in heaven. God created us, but He also created the animals. I look forward to seeing my pets that have passed on.
My Wife and I are heart sick over your loss. You'll grieve for a long time. We cry every time ( daily ) over our losses. Sammy will be sorely missed. 😢
Awww babygirl.....😢I'm soo soooo sorry for your loss of Sammy, I can see, he was such a sweet loveable baby..I am tearing with you..ik its hurts so much bc he was part of your family and you all loved him with all your hearts. He put a smile on my face, when he had his bowl in his mouth prancing..( he knew he was speical) What we got thru for our fur babies...been there many of times. But, that's life. The cute ways of Sammy, will get you all thru the ruff days. By the way how old was he? My 2 labs were 18 and 19 years old, when we put them to sleep. How is Storm and the pups ? Good I hope, how many did she have and you all keep? Any looking or acting like Sammy??? not wanting one 🤔 . Well, ik farm life is always calling, hope all is good and try, no...Have a Happy New Year! 🎉
4 ever ❤ Sammy ..
I agree it would probably not have saved him with surgery. He looked far down when u found him.
I am sorry for your loss. He looked like he knew u were there to comfort him. Animals know.
I just saw your video about losing your precious Sammy. I am so very sorry for your loss. I saw how attached you were to him. My heart broke for you and your family. That vet was awful! Even worse that you guys did necrospy. But its understandable why you had to do it. If anyone says something about you guys not paying so much money for the surgery, please don't mind them and their judgements! You did all that you could for Sammy. God bless you and your family. I'm sending you lots of hugs, all my love, and my prayers too. You could tell how Sammy was so happy to be part of your family and your farm. ❤❤💔
You just got a new sub too.
BLOT, Is when a large dog eats and then like runs. Doing this will twist
the insides and they sadly die. I was told no saving. :(
Anytime a large dog eats or drinks a lot at one time puts them at risk for bloat. And yes, they can be saved. My vet told me there were no guarantees that my baby would survive after running him from vet to vet, but he did survive! It was expensive, but through financing I was able to make the monthly payments. ❤
Parvo lives in the ground. It could be anywhere on your farm. In order to keep your animals healthy vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate
Right? The simplest & cheapest thing you can do to provide for them..
As a pup lover, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious dog.
From a tiny bit of experience in working along side a vet. I've seen twisted stomach cause bleeding from the mouth AND the pooping of blood. It's sad, and I'm so sorry for your loss.
Always take to a vet dont give any medication and if you don't know what it is, and if they may require surgery, give nothing to eat or drink.
I'm sorry sorry for your loss of Sammy. May he RIP, and may God have met him at the pearly gates and welcomed him home. I think by keeping the puppies you will still have Sammy around and help raise his babies after all he is an angel. 26:21 26:22 26:23
I’m in Greene county pa. Did you try Waynesburg animal hospital? I grew up with Jennifer( the lead vets daughter) and have her direct line. If you ever have someone deny you an autopsy again call them. She will do it. She’s truly good and cares deeply for animals.
They told me that they do not do necropsys.
@@TheCrazyFarmWife that’s really strange. We just had one done on a husky there a few years ago. I know it’s tough and sad, but I’m glad you guys did it yourself. You did right by your dog and your other animals. I would say if you ever have a pressing issue like that call Waynesburg and ask to speak to Jennifer directly or really push the issue. They may have changed their procedures but I’m not sure. They’ve been absolute life savers for us. I know there is canon hill that does farm calls as well and Leah (I forget her last name) but she is incredible. Not sure who you use. The lack of access to vets is truly a crisis in this country. Especially when so many medications and types of equipment they won’t let us have unless we get it through a vet!
@Kb-gh2rk thank you for the info!
$8000 is hi-way robbery you did what you could and did no wrong. Your hearts will feel this loss forever and time will help you cope with the pain and remember the joy more often that Sammy brought to your lives.
You should take them to a vet right away.Like getting something to eat and like look at the back of the spotty lip lick on his stomach and then get something to eat and then take him to the vet
Sorry for your lost . Glad your have his puppies.
So very sorry for your loss sweetheart, Oh, I was holding back tears 😢, I've lost a few beloved fur babies and its never...easy.
I wish I could hug you... You and your family are in my prayers....❤
I feel your pain sister. I had the love of my life furbaby die horribly. It’s been two years and it still hurts just as bad. It’s nothing like the loss of animals you raise for food. Big hugs to you and your family and take the time you need to morn him.
I'm so sorry for your loss
7:50 it's okay if you can't afford it because that happened with a pet before I'm sorry😥🐾🕊️
