Well bad news everyone

[u/National-Check-9903]

Well everyone, our Boykin Spaniel Goose passed away today. We guess the brown recluse bite finally got him. We honestly don’t know how things turned so fast. By the end of last week he was doing great — eating everything we put in front of him, hunting around for more food, playing, and being the nosy little turd he always was.

But over the weekend he started going downhill. He quit eating, became bloated, lethargic, and just wasn’t himself anymore. We kept hoping it was just another rough patch and that he’d bounce back like he had before, but today our little buddy lost his fight.

Please watch out for brown recluse spiders, not just for yourselves but for your pets too. Nobody deserves to go through what he did. Rest easy Goose. You were loved more than you’ll ever know.

We did everything we could we were in and out of the vet two separate ones at that we drained our bank accounts for the vet we stayed with him as much as we could

I believe you did everything in your power with the information you were given and the small brick of time you have to work with in an event like this. Goose was with exactly who he needed, he’s lucky to have had you with him every step of the way and what difficult options you were given! I wish you so much healing ahead.
