If Tomorrow Never ComesIra nad 3 weeks old Flora

There are no words to describe our tears and sorrow. Just in the morning Flora was wagging her tail and was giving her sweet kisses. I took her about 4 pm to vet because I felt she was abnormally sick to be pregnant. Some hours later she was diagnosed having sepsis. Vets were doing their everything, but about 8 pm Flora joined her mom Bunny to hunt heavenly birds. This feels untrue and I am not sure if I am awake or is this nightmare. Flora born on 13.10.2001 on our vet's Merja Dahlbom clinic and it was where she left us on 28.2.2007.

This is so unreal and I keep looking from where Flora will come and give her sweet kisses. I am not able rationally understand, how Flora was just in the morning quite normal herself and 12 hours after she is no longer with us. We left home for vet to see if everything is ok with her pregnancy and returned back home with Flora's collar and leash in my hands.

Flora enjoying winter day on 28th January 2007I held Flora in my hands and kissed her sweet nose when she took her first breath and I held her head while she took her last breath. After she was gone I was crying my tears in her neck and whispered her ear: "Thank You Flora for everything. You'll be my Princess number one always and hope You will be waiting for me on the Bridge."

Life seems so absurd and unfair. Just had very short time to be joyful and happy for having my dear baby Flora back with me again and then suddenly she is taken away. Please tell me this is nightmare and when I wake up Flora is here with us healthy and happy. This is terrible loss of much loved friend and soulmate.

Funky - who was always best friends with his favorite daughter Flora - is behaving very nervous and keeps going around. I know he understands Flora has left us. Last night Funky slept in Flora's place next to me and he was whining through the night occasionally. Cotton was nervously running around and was licking my falling tears.

We know Hanna and Tapsa are missing you dreadfully too.

Dear Flora have safe journey. Your beautiful memory will live forever in our souls!

*** 27 March 2007

Flora postmortem report arrived today. Flora had pyometra which had caused purulent peritonitis and this again caused sepsis. The form of pyometra Flora had was very rare. There was no purulent effusion nor was any part of uterus riped. Normally pyometra without purulent effusion rips uterus and dog gets so sick and diagnosis can be done. Flora basically didn't have any symptoms of pyometra. She was well till Wednesday morning and then 8 pm she was no longer with us.

And the reason for this is: The bacter which was "isoleted" in necropsy was Klebsiella Pneumoniae. This is known to be very aggressive and basically antibiotics don't work against it. Learn it is typical for Klebsiella Pneumoniae to expand very rapidly and it may be letal within 12-24 hours.

It was a relief to learn there was very little to do about it as the infection furthered so aggressively. Another relief is to know this was nothing genetic.

Klebsiella infections are encountered far more often now than in the past. This is probably due to the bacterium's antibiotic resistance properties.

It has been too high price to learn about Klebsiella Pneumoniae.
Nothing will bring back my beautiful, much loved and sorely missed Flora
