How can I stop blaming myself for my cat's death?
My Emily has been my pride and joy for the last 3 1/2 years. She was my best friend, confidante, basically my everything. So it was heartbreaking to see her fine the other morning, but later when I got home from work I found 15 + pools of vomit around the house. I rushed her to the vet and the doctor wasn't particualry conerned..she didn't have a fever or anything. Her bloodwork was fine. They kept her overnight to keep an eye on her. So you can tell I was surprised yesterday morning to hear that she took and turn for the worse and died. The doctor kept asking me if I had anything posionous around (and there is not). He did an autopsy on her and could not find any conclusive findings. I keep thinking that this is my fault in some way. Maybe she did find something posionous..maybe I should have given her more attention lately, maybe I should have done this and that. This is one of the most devasting experiences of my life.When will things get better? And how can I stop blaming myself?

How did you cope with loss of pet? I am blaming myself for it.
During the year September 2017. Punch was bitten by a herd of street dogs in the compound. Was asleep during the entire scenario. My brothers friend went to his rescue by throwing stones at them. After sometime. On hearing punch's sound in pain. Rushed to the stop. Seeing him crawling on the ground. I very well knew. He won't survive. As I can see the bites. The next morning. Took him to a vetenary doctor in the vicinity. After examining punch internal injuries. He told me. He would have survived. If he had regularly vaccinated. But, Advised he won't survive as days passes by. By end of the year September 2017. We lost him. I was self-sabotaging everyday…He had been with us for eleven years. Hence, We buried him in his favourite garden in the picture.

How do I get over my dog's death? He was precious to me.
You will never “get over" your dogs death, but time will help you accept it better. I have had 4 dogs- all labrador retrievers, and 3 out of 4 had hip dysplasia. That is a horrible disease- not just for the dogs but for the families that love them as well. The poor babies suffer in pain and we suffer from not being able to do more for them.Anyway, when the time comes we are forced to make the decision when to let them go and it is never easy. I loved every one of those dogs like children and I still feel guilty like I could have done more for them. The one thing I do know is that I could not have loved them more- and I showed them that EVERY day of their lives.You will mourn their passing and miss them like crazy, but time and remembering the good days will help you heal. Surround yourself with other people who understand your pain. Someone who has never had a dog will not understand what you are going thru, but for those of us who have- you have my deepest sympathy!And when the time comes, opening your heart to another dog, especially one in need, will fill you with love and joy once again.My deepest condolences are with you.
How am I supposed to live with myself, knowing my cat’s death is my fault?
To err is human.There is no point in ending your life as it wont make the things better. Rather you can repent by mending your past mistakes!!I used to have two parrots. As it was hostel so i was compelled to keep them caged. One day one put of teo flew away out of hunger(i guess). Other died that evening itself. I was cursing myself for both the incidents. As giving food was responsibilty of mine and my roommate alternatively. It was her duty but repentence was all mine as she was too shameless to take the blame. Anyways that day i promised myself that i wont pet any animal till i cannot provide them freedom, food and whatever they want!! Even i was planning to never have any pet as i believed i deserve punishment.Years later, on my birthday i got a persian cat! I was crying when i lifted him in my lap. Flashback of past sin was haunting me aswell. I was happy but distressed aswell as i had seen my inability to take care of pet. Anyways after lot many anaysations and self talks(which i do when i am depressed) i concluded, i will take care of him before me as it might lessen my guilt!!Its been 2 years , i am able to feel the sad incident but amount of guilt is less!! I provided my cat a partner after 1 year as i saw him sitting sad and waiting for me. I was unable to play whole night with him as our routine is a mismatch. Now they are happy and so am i!!This is the way i repented!! I am satisfied that i think about them before me!! I dont get much time out of my busy schedule but rather than going out on weekends i choose to play with them. I dont travel out of city as at the end of the day they find me and i cant imaging them meowing in order to find me and getting sad! I try to return back as soon as possible. I have sacrificed my sleep as they need to wake me up at 4:00 am , make me grab them and love them unless they feel content and rum away. otherwise they will be be moving all over me. Haha!!Everyone makes mistakes. Choosing to die is not the solution if you can repent in multiple ways!!
Did i cause my dogs death?
My 2-3 yr old 6 lb chihuahua died last the week before last. She just started coughing one night and then mucous started coming out of her nose. I took her to different vets and she basically died of respiratory distress, although both vets didnt see anything wrong with her lungs. I looked online and saw that she might've had tracheal collapse. A few weeks prior to her getting sick i accidently hit her in the neck while playing with my brother. And the night she got sick was rather chilly and she had been exposed to cigarette smoke. i know i caused this, and im devastated. I wonder if anyone knows if it couldve been the hit to the throat, or the chilly night and cigarette smoke that caused this? Could a hit to the throat at least 3 weeks prior been the cause? after i hit her i checked her out and she was fine for weeks until she got sick later.

A few months ago I lost my beloved border collie.he was attacked by two dogs while I was sleeping and couldnt hear.little did I know the fence around my house was loose.i guess the dogs were trying to come in and my dog got out to prevent it.as my dog feared none.i felt really bad and sometimes blamed myself.my dog and I shAred many great memories in his short life and was my bf.theres a long story but .anyways lets get to the dream. It was like a.pre apocalypse dream where people where going to war.I visited my house and he was.still there.I had to leave again but I left him there because it was too dangerous to bring him.so I left and let the water hose turned on for him.I left but I came back almost immediately and the house was burning.I was scared he burned but then I saw him in the front lawn looking at us with his tail up as always,showing no fear.idk why but me and my dad just kept going and I really wanted to bring him.what does this dream mean?
How am I supposed to get over the death of my puppy, feeling like it was all my fault?
I can completely understand your emotions, being there in the same situation a few days ago. To begin with, let me tell you, you have to accept the fate of your pup. Don’t let your emotions bottle up within you. It’s okay to cry, to be angry. The best way is to let out your emotions. Don’t blame yourself if you have loved your pet selflessly and try avoid this feeling as much as possible. We do end up blaming ourselves for loosing them, but isn’t everyone supposed to leave this place one or the other day ?I would suggest you to visit some animal shelters where there are lots of abandoned ones needing love and care. You can volunteer at such places physically during weekends or whenever you can spare time. Try to feed the strays and make them cheerful. Trust me, you’ll feel contended and happy :)Nurture the happy memories of you and your pet.Cheers ! :)
