My baby crossed the bridge

My 10 year old had her teeth cleaned in August 2023. She started biting. Had her whole body and teeth Xrayed. Was told she had arthritis. She had no problems before dental visit. Changed vets. Gave her pain and anxiety meds. Went to groomer of 4 years. Had a seizure. Took to vets. Put on different meds. Had 3 seizures. Went blind and deaf. Hearing and sight came back within couple of weeks but had dementia. Peed all over the everything. Could not pet or hold her. Paced in circles. Finally I had her put down end of March.

I am so grieving her. She was the best dog ever. I don’t understand what went wrong here. I think the first vet that did the dental work dropped her when she was sedated and injured her back. I cannot quit crying. I bought her in MI and I live in CA now. I am not ready for another dog yet but I have checked out different sites and cotons are hard to find. She was half poodle as well so she did not shed. I am so lost without her. I sit by her grave daily and talk to her. I have never cried so much in my life. I so loved my little Jasmine.
