I am so sorry to hear about Bandida and with all that you wrote I feel this was a cardiac issue such as heartworm or even congestive heart failure. I do feel that even if you could have afforded it there may have not been anything you could have done differently and I am just so very sorry and I know that you will miss her terribly and this type of issue never gets easier for me and most likely never will. I feel she crossed the rainbow bridge with happy thought knowing that you gave her a wonderful life that she may have never known had you not taken her in and I do hope you can find comfort with that. I am going to add a link below that I feel will offer you some additional comfort so when you feel up to it please click the below link and read the story. And I am so very sorry that you are having to go through this.
