Custody exchange. Sunday night.

Dropping off our daughter.

Charlie stayed in car.

Argument started. Usual stuff.

New boyfriend gets involved.

Charlie runs in, protective. 😰

SLAM. Against the wall.

Charlie screaming. Legs dragging.

"Accident. He startled me."

My daughter crying. Traumatized.

Charlie can't move back legs.

Rush to emergency vet. 😭

Spinal injury. Partial paralysis.

Maybe permanent. Maybe not.

$7,000. Steroids. Rest.

Week 2. Charlie depressed.

Can't play. Can't run.

Barely eating. 💔

Found him more alert Thursday.

Then saw my pills scattered.

Antid3pressants. Bottle chewed open.

Zol0ft. Maybe 6-7 pills.

Charlie drooling. Trembling.

Pupils huge. 😰

Already paralyzed. Now poisoned.

Racing to vet. AGAIN.

"Serotonin syndrome. How many pills?"

"I don't know! Maybe seven?"

"His temperature's 105. Seizure risk.

Why no activated charcoal at home?" 😭

Vet shows PawMergency:

"Every home needs this. Immediately after ingestion.

Absorbs medications, chocolate, grapes, THC.

Could've prevented this." 💔

Charlie seized three times.

Brain swelling. Already paralyzed.

His body couldn't take more.

Charlie passed Friday morning.

Ex's boyfriend? "Proves he was aggressive."

My daughter won't visit anymore. 😰

Wall took his legs.

My Zol0ft took the rest.

"Accident" my ass. Both times.

If your dog's eaten something toxic, have PawMergency on hand. It can save their life.

It’s available on Amazon.

😭 Comment "SAVE" and I'll DM you what I keep in my pet's first aid kit.

Charlie was protecting us.

Nobody protected him.

Not from walls. Not from pills. 💔 #dogs #dogstory #mydog #usa🇺🇸 #usadogs
