The most sincere prayers for you, your mom and for little Salt. I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you can help your mom realize that she shouldn't blame herself and take comfort in the good life she provided for Shauny. Words never seem enough, but my prayers are with you all.

Mom's chi, Chiffon, passed away this am. Chiffon, aka Shauny, was mom's first chi. She was 11 years old. We are not entirely sure what happened. She called me last night and said something was wrong with Chiffon.....that she was having a very hard time breathing and there was blood that she thinks was from Shauny, but not sure. I went to mom's asap. We set up with Shauny half the night. I gave her a brochidialator and a breathing pill. We thought maybe she had swallowed something, so we gave her peroxide to induce vomiting, but she never did vomit. Her throat looked really swollen, so I put my fingers down her throat and felt around to see if anything was stuck, I could feel it swollen but couldn't find a cause. She wanted to go to a vet, but the nearest 24 hour vet is over an hour away. She seemed to be breathing a bit better from the meds. So finally I went home around 2 am She was getting dressed at 7 am to be at the vet when they opened, and suddenly Chiffon started gasping real bad. Mom called me and I ran to her house as fast as possible, but she passed before I got there. Mom is so devastated. She blames herself for not going to the 24 hour vet. Salt, which is Chiffon's son, has looked all over the house for his momma. Salt is 10 and they have been together his whole life. He is so lost without her. They were so close. Everytime they sat down, he literally laid on top of her...never beside her, but on her. Please send up prayers for peace and comfort for mom and for Salt......... Marsha _,_._,___
