This is the last picture I took of her. Annie passed away last night at the emergency medical clinic. She had a tumor or mass that was infected but ended up dying of renal failure after administering deramaxx as per our vet. The progression of the failure falls in line with what my wife and I found out about the drug and never would have given it to Annie had we read up on it first. The emergency vet we took Annie to told us that he doesn't use it and it seemed especially hard/lethal to golden retrievers. Please read up on it if you have a golden retriever as it is often used for hip and joint problems. Our family will miss Annie and it's harder because we may not have had to lose her. It is not fair that she only had 7 and a half years with us.
