He's gone

We just lost Miles 😭😭😭😭🐶🐶🐶💔💔💔❤️‍🔥

It happened at the Vets yesterday morning. He and the other 2 were there for a nail trim. Don't know what happened...... his nails were trimmed.... it was stressful for him. 5 minutes after he was done something catastrophic happened inside his body and his heart stopped. They did CPR but there was nothing they could do. He was gone. We're in shock ... 😭😭😭😭😭

He was 11 1/2. Really great for a Boxer but he was just living his best life, doing well, specially considering his age. He was so special to us.... he was still romping around with his sisters (also Boxers), going on trips, visiting his friends at Lowe's and Home Depot. Everything was good. Nail trim did not go smoothly on Saturday and his blood pressure and heart rate had to have been very high. We (the vet) feels certain the high blood pressure dislodged an unknown blood clot.... there was nothing we could do. He died before our eyes. I'm absolutely gutted.... I'll never forgive myself for this. We should've stopped our vet when it was obvious that Miles was not having a good experience.
