Without details, because I can’t bring myself to discuss it since it just happened an hour ago, Mercy died in ICU. I just wanted to let everyone know. She just kept getting worse, and crashed. They weren’t able to get her back. When I can bring myself to do it, I have an XS ruff wear harness, new, for anyone who can use it. She never got to wear it. I’ll post it when I can.

I'm a 24 year old veterinary technician at a small animal practice. I spend most of my time in surgery while I'm there. I come home to a 9.5 year old miniature pinscher, Mercy; a 3 year old longhaired tuxedo cat, Mouse; and a 6 year old longhaired tuxedo cat, Tippin. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my fur-kids, gaming on my computer, or studying for work-related things. I was excited to find Tripawds, a website specifically for cancer-induced three-legged furkids like my own (at least, soon to be).

I am beside myself. I wasn’t aware she was in ICU. I am soooo sorry, my heart aches for you and what you are going through right now. Please know that you are NOT alone, we all completely understand your grief. When you are ready to share more, and especially more about what a wonderful little dog she was and such a fighter, I will be here waiting.

We are very sad and sorry to hear about Mercy! We keep wondering why life brings us such challenges. You did the right thing trying to save Mercy’s life! Life isn’t fair. I bet Mercy and Jake are up there playing together! Take care-we are thinking about you!

We are so sorry. We’ve been following Mercy’s story and thought she was just having a rough post-op period.
I know words can barely touch this. We are just so sorry for your loss. You tried to save her life, you made this decision out of love. She looks like such a little sweetie. Run free sweet girl.
We’re sure Jake will be a good big brother to her. He’ll watch over her along with all their Tripawd friends.
Love and peace to you, Eve and Romeo
I am so sorry and saddened to see that Mercy is gone, it sounds like you and she went through hell at the end.
It is all so unfair, remember the love and that her spirit is with you…always!
I am sending you prayers and love , take good care, Ginny & Paris

I’m so sorry. That’s all I can say. I’m sorry for you and all you are going through.
I am so so sorry to hear that Mercy had such complications and did not make it. I lost my Emily, also on November 10. There are no words that I can say that will help but please know how sorry I am.
