Hi all sadly at 13:00pm on the 24th of December my 1 and a half years old best friend died his name was patch he was a beautiful blonde Frenchbulldog weight was 12.5 kg I just feel so lost without him. I'm 24 and he was my first ever attempt at owning a furry friend

He was ok for the while tome he was alive

Had one day where he looked tired but I didn't think anything of it because the next day he was perfect again.

Months pass and it's been perfect he's jumping around playing barking sniffing and absolutely in love with the garden . he knew all the tricks so I never thought it would be a brain lungworm that ended up striking suddenly 2 days before the date I wrote above

I was up woth him all night for 2 days and we took him to the vet after the first night and she thought his squinting and swaying was becaise of abdominal pain so we were quite relaxed given we thought he would be ok after the medication term was over.

They have him a stomach helping thingy and also a 24h painkiller so he wasn't in as much pain

Anyways that night he was looking ok

He ate a meal that he and I didn't know would be his very last out of my hands

And he looked good still medicated but good and then the night come I want to rush though this because I'm a little traumatised by it

I knew something wasn't right so I stayed up with him all night

He was in and out side loads I would hold him outside so he coukd hear the sounds of the wind and relax but he just didn't want to do it

He would space out for a few moments come back them the process would repeat for 7 hours

Until around 7:30am he finally relaxed in my partners arms and then started breathing heavy and had a sezure.

I've never seen one before and I was so tired and I just can't believe it itbwas horrific that such a tiny little beautiful innocent boy was in no control and he was missing and defecating all over the bed

I ran for help and let her stay with him and she thinks he died fir a moment


I come back and he was breathing again i called his name and said it will be ok bud

Time passed he looked like he'd come back to us after the episode and we drove to the vet again

We took him in and i walked to the shop

I come back and he was already in the room with the vet and her

The vet told us what's going on but they have no idea yet

They found out and said he had to stay with them until 4


We then went home without him for the very first time
We then received 4 phone calls until ime at 13:00 pm and we found out he had had a sezure started bleeding of his nose and sadly my baby man patches sadly passed away. We drove in devastated and said our final goodbyes and cried my eyes out We both gave him a hug

I'm honestly devastated and so confused by it all


It's been a few days now and I just need to put my stroy out there to just try to heal as I just don't know how to yet We raised him and still live with his mum and dad so the feeling is unfathomable and unlike anything if felt before

If anyone reading this has also experienced this and don't want to post anything or are just reading to find somthing like me then I'm so sorry
Just keep going i like am in pain deep pain but keep on living in their name and memory unconditionally like.they did with love to you every single day ♥️
